 Visiting England's Lake District provides an opportunity to get away from crowded cities and enjoy a rendezvous with nature. England's Lake District is famous world over for its pristine natural beauty and rich variety of flora and fauna.
The Lake District National Park lies within the county of Cumbria and is one of fourteen National parks in the United Kingdom.
Forest rich mountains and serene lakesides provide a perfect backdrop in which one can relax and unwind. It is the scenic beauty of the region, which acted as a source of inspiration for great poets like William Wordsworth.
The region became famous during the early 19th century due to its beautiful depiction in the poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and other poets. William Wordsworth lived at Dove Cottage, which has now been converted into a museum on his life and works. Special exhibitions going on throughout the year in Dove Cottage are a major attraction.
While in the Lake District, you can visit beautiful locations like Ennerdale Forest (conifer forest), Hay Bridge Deer Museum (conservation center for deer), Muncaster Castle and Castlerigg stone circle, one of the first stone circles built in Britain, dating back to about 3000 BC.
This beautiful area harbors a variety of unique and rare plants and animals like red squirrel, sundew (carnivorous plant), nesting colonies of Golden Eagles, and three endangered species of fish, the vendace, the schelly, and the arctic charr.
