The Lakedistrict is one of the many reasons why we're always trying to tell tourists not to just go to London.   There are some wonderful towns and villages in the area too.

When we Brits hear Americans say, "Yeah, we've been to England. We stayed in London then flew back home.", our hearts sink just a little.

England is known as a "green and pleasant land".

The rules are "take only photos, leave only footprints".

England is a beautiful place and we are all very proud of it and it’s nice to see an American appreciate it, thank you 🙏

We live in the Lake District.  So glad you like our home. It is a truly beautiful place. There's a reason England is called 'Gods green and pleasant land'.
PS: all the walls are hand built and maintained by the Lake District.  It's a very specific skill in the UK building stone walls with no mortar. Each block is carefully chosen to balance the entire wall.

How many times. An English Muffin is NOT a crumpet.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL VISITORS TO OUR COUNTRY: If you go through a gate, close it after you. The thing about the U.K. is there are lots of public pathways on peoples lands, that you can walk, along which you can't do in some countries. But you have to remember, these people might have animals such as sheep or cows. The owners won't want their animals straying and getting hit by cars. Oh and bin all your rubbish/trash. You wouldn't like people throwing rubbish into your gardens/yards, so don't throw it on people's property.

I'm not much of a photographer, but when I took pictures of the Lake District everybody described them as "National Geographic quality."  Rolling green hills, stonewalls and bridges, sheep, and misty gray skies.  One of the most beautiful places on the planet.

It makes me smile to watch your reactions and realise I'm so lucky to live here .

Lots of us Brits visit the Lake District…..totally STUNNING……I LOVE my country🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Our family have been to all these wonderful places…..with our babies in back packs❤❤ and we have returned with them over the years as they love it too❤️❤️

I feel so privileged to be living and studying at Uni in Ambleside. And I have a bus pass, so it is free for me to travel almost every day around the Lake District. It's beautiful.

Although born in England I grew up in Australia (am 71), I have been back to the UK on four occasions with two magnificent days in the Lakes District with absolutely perfect weather, and I can attest that it is so peaceful, so beautiful, and so calming it is extraordinary.

The reason why there aren't many people there is that the lake district is HUGE. In America you would usually drive around it, but in the UK we walk around it. So people are just all over the place in all of the different areas

Lake Windermere is definitely my favourite. It is just lovely. My absolute best experience was when I was on a boat in the middle of the lake in the rain. I had rainproof clothing on, of course. I switched off the boat engine and just floated there with the sound of the rain on the water all around me. So peaceful.

Hebrides in Scotland is also beautiful. There lots of little islands. I live about an 1 hours drive away from the lake district, but i love Scotland. Edinburgh is a beautiful city. I also love the coastal and country places like Northumberland too. We have some great places in the UK, not forgetting Wales too.

I thought an American wouldn't be that impressed with our Lake District since you have all your beautiful national parks.

I have been to the Lakes many times.
My late wife's ashes are sprinkled on top of HELM CRAG/THE LION AND THE LAMB.
Once you get out of the towns, it's peace and quiet. You might not see another person....hopefully. Just plenty of Herdwick sheep.
ENGLISH MUFFIN and CRUMPET are two different things !!!!!!!
The stone walls are a feature of the Lake district. They are hundreds of years old and separate the different fields. The people who rebuild them are true craftsmen.
TARN = Mountain lake.

The whole of the UK is beautiful

My Dad took us to Cumbria for a holiday when I was a kid. Stayed at a cottage owned by a farmer who rented it out during the summer. It was an amazing few weeks. Saw some incredible things, went rowing on a boat for the first time, was kicked by a horse....

I have lived in Australia for over 40 years but I have never forgotten the wonderful holidays I spent in the Lake District before I emigrated. I still miss it, if I'm honest.
