THE LAKE DISTRICT

If William Wordsworth could have hopped on a flight to the US and admired the views afforded by the likes of Yosemite National Park, would he have waxed so lyrically about England’s good ol’ Lake District? Undoubtedly, the answer is yes. This is England at its most dramatic and gorgeously pastoral, where Wordsworth ‘Wandered lonely as a Cloud’, a place of such significant natural beauty that UNESCO thought it wise to inscribe its rugged collection of mountains and lakes as a World Heritage Site last July. It’s a landscape that has made an impact on the arts, inspiring the Picturesque and Romanticism movements
