comments,
- No need to add the word “Lake” to the name of this idyllic basin.""Cumbrians know it by one word:
- The village on the north shore shares the lake\s name.""And it\s every bit as picturesque as the surrounding country
- Mountains tower over much of the land in this national park.""Yet it\s not called the Mountain District
- Many 18th- and 19th-century poets took inspiration from this region.""And in the 20th century, another writer led conservation efforts here
