The Lake District
The English Lake District
The Lake District National Park is one of fourteen National Parks in the United Kingdom. It lies entirely within Cumbria, and is one of England's few mountainous regions. All the land in England higher than three thousand feet above sea level lies within the Park. The Lakes, as the region is also called, were made famous during the early 19th Century by the poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the Lake Poets.
