The Lake District National
Park |
| The outstanding beauty of this National Park is often
remembered by the Green Slate colour of the local
stone from which are built the
farm houses. The
colour is still prominent high up in the mountains
with the dry stone walls which divide the
grassing areas for the sheep
being of the same slate which is underfoot as one walks the fells tops. |

The Park has no main access highways which run through it,
being serviced by the M6 Motorway from which there are to main entry routes.
The
first as you come north on the M6 is through Kendal to Windermere and further
north via Penrith to Ullswater or Keswick on the A66 Highway. |
The lakes are a playground for Outdoor &
Mountaineering pursuits to which there is a Commercial atmosphere, but that's
where it stops. There are no MacDonald's, KFC's or Major Hotel chains on every
corner, what there is though are a mass of people happily enjoying
themselves and the surrounding countryside.
Some state that the problems with the Lakes is the rain and
it does appear to rain a lot, but that only enhances beauty of the Green
Lakeland Stone all year round. The only thing to change during the four seasons
is the temperature and the bracken on the hillsides, green in the summer,
scorched in the fall, unseen under the snow and a rich red / brown in the spring
prior to the new foliage arriving.
