Esthwaite Water, on a warm September evening

The lakes of Lake District National Park

Photo: sagesolar, CC BY, flickr.com
"The finest scenery that ever was“ is nowhere else than in the Lake District National Park - at least according to John Constable. But the landscape speaks for itself! The unique combination of water and mountains makes it a paradise for outdoor lovers. The lakes, which gave the national park its name, are perfect destinations for an exciting outdoor adventure. See the high mountain peaks reflect on the surface of the crystal clear lakes.
