Description
★ England's most popular tourist destination ★
The Lake District attracts people from all around the world; more than 15 million visitors each year arrive in what was once called ‘the odd corner of England’. They come for the outstanding quality of the landscape, and by doing so serve to endorse William Wordsworth’s vision of a ‘sort of national property, in which every man has a right and interest who has an eye to perceive and a heart to enjoy.’
But the Lake District is much more than one man's perception; it is a glorious and natural evocation of everything that is wild and beautiful, into which Man has melded with taste and good sense.
