The Little Langdale Tarn sits in the Little Langdale Valley in the Lake District National Park. The Crummock Water lies in the Buttermere Valley, an ideal place to start a hike to Red Pike. Castle ruins dot the landscape in the Lake District National Park. Pendragon Castle was built where the father of legendary King Arthur died. The largest of England's national parks has an interesting mix of mountain and lake scenery. Postcard-perfect in summer, the Lakes have inspired many of the greatest names in English literature. William Wordsworth, Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Lord Tennyson are only some of the people that have been inspired by one of the most famous landscapes in England. The park contains England's highest peak, Scafell at 3,205 feet, and its deepest lake, Wastwater at 282 feet. The wild hills and moors contrast with the cultivated fields and villages of the valleys. A network of trails among the lakes and lower fells (hills) make the Lake District a walker's paradise. The park contains a wealth of historic artifacts from Stone Age monuments and Bronze Age stone circles to fortified Roman remains. Castles and church ruins are also in abundance. The region is best known for its walking, water sports and mountains. The park is easily reached by car, bus or train. Photo credits in order: Courtesy of Corel. Courtesy of Corel.
