This mountainous region in the far North West of England is a popular tourist destination due to its beautiful scenery and it’s designated status as a national park. The whole area is spotted with bodies of water, though Bassenthwaite Lake is the only one with the word “lake” in its name. Most of the others are simply referred to as “waters”. This area is home to Wastwater, England’s deepest lake as well as Scafell Pike, England’s tallest mountain.
The landscape of mountains and lakes is not the only reason to visit; the Lake District is home to rare wildlife and has plenty of activities on offer.
The Lake District National Park is one of Cumbria’s biggest draws. Within the park you can go on hikes of varying levels.

The Lake District is perfect for adventurous types as it has lots of water sports, biking, climbing and hiking.
