  • The Lake District National Park covers the area
    of north-west England known as the Lake District.
    The National Park was formed in 1951 to protect
    the landscape from industry or commerce could
    cause. Almost all of the land in the Park is in
    private ownership. In common with all other
    National Parks in England, there is no
    restriction on entry to or movement within the
    park.

Lake District National Park landscape
The highest mountains in England are within the
Park boundary. Farmland, hill and settlement add
aesthetic value to the natural scenery with an
ecology modified by human influence for millennia
and including important wildlife habitats.

Pennine Chain Fern thicket
  • The Pennines , in the north, are a large chain of
    limestone hills with moorland tops rising to
    between 600 and 900 metres. The chain runs from
    Scotland to halfway down the length of England,
    splitting northern England into northwest and
    northeast sectors.

The Pennines are sometimes called the backbone of
England. Other names for the Pennines are Pennine
Chain or Pennine Hills.
