A weekend is just not enough to capture the pure beauty of Lake District. Furthermore, it was blazing cold and the wind almost riped the camera out of my tripod. Despite all of this, I hope you enjoy this gallery!
The Lake District, also known as The Lakes or Lakeland, is a rural area in North West England. It is famous for its lakes and its mountains (or fells), and its associations with the early 19th century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the Lake Poets. The central and most-visited part of the area is contained in the Lake District National Park, one of fourteen National parks in the United Kingdom. It lies entirely within Cumbria, and is one of England's few mountainous regions. All the land in England higher than three thousand feet above sea level lies within the National Park. The Lake District also contains Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England.
