"The Lake District, also commonly known as The Lakes or Lakeland, is a mountainous region in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous not only for its lakes and its mountains (or fells) but also for its associations with the early 19th century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the other Lake Poets.
The
majority of the area was designated as the Lake District National Park in 1951.
It is the largest of the thirteen National Parks in England and Wales, and the
second largest in the UK (after the Cairngorms). It lies entirely within the
modern county of Cumbria, shared historically by the counties of Cumberland,
Westmorland and Lancashire. All the land in England higher than three thousand
feet above sea level lies within the National Park, including Scafell Pike, the
highest mountain in England. It also contains the deepest and longest lakes in
England." In: Wikipedia
