The English Lake District is the most beautiful natural terrain I know. In 1990 I was fortunate enough to be able to come to live here permanently and walk the Lakeland fells to my heart's content. This site is dedicated to all those who explore the area on foot.
Stop Press 03 September 2014 Recent restrictions of interpretation in Microsoft's Internet Explorer rendered the maps invisible in this browser. I've made changes to the coding of the map pages which should resolve this problem.
