Even amidst fog and rain, The Lake District still manages to place you into another realm, and despite the relatively high numbers of people in the towns and villages, the fells are still very much a place of solitude and tranquility.

Among the noted people to call The Lake District home were the poet William Wordsworth and writer/illustrator Beatrix Potter. At the time of her death, Potter left fourteen farms and over 4,000 acres of land to be conserved in the National Trust.
