Rugged fells, deep valleys, and unforgettable journeys

England's highest mountains and largest lakes combine to create a landscape that has inspired walkers, writers, and travellers for generations. Located in Cumbria in North West England, the Lake District National Park is defined by dramatic scenery, with steep-sided valleys, high passes, open fell tops, and waters that reflect the surrounding peaks.

Long-distance trails such as the Cumbria Way, Coast to Coast Path, Dales Way, and sections of the Pennine Way pass through the national park, linking places including Keswick, Ambleside, Coniston, Grasmere, Windermere, Buttermere, and Wasdale. From lakeside paths and valley walks to mountain routes crossing high passes and summits, the landscape offers some of Britain's most rewarding walking.

Whether following a long-distance trail, exploring quieter valleys, or climbing the fells for far-reaching views, the Lake District rewards time spent on foot. Changing weather, dramatic landscapes, and a strong connection between place and route shape every journey, making it one of Britain's most iconic destinations for self-guided travel.
