Lake District Revision

The Lake District National Park is located in northwest England and covers over 2,000 square kilometers, making it the largest national park in the UK. It is easily accessible by car from major cities like Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, and Sheffield within a 2 hour drive, and also has a main train line running through Kendal. The landscape features high mountains, deep valleys, and large lakes that attract a variety of recreational users, but this also leads to conflicts between different groups over issues like noise, litter, and damage to natural areas. The Lake District National Park Authority works to manage these conflicts and protect the landscape.
