Peak Bagging The Whole of The Lake District

The Whole of The Lake District is located in North West England, within the county of Cumbria.

Often referred to as 'The Lakes' or 'Lakeland', The Lake District is mountainous region renowned for the beauty of its forests, lake and mountains. Covering and area of 2,362 km² (912 sq mi), The Lake District is the second largest National Park in the UK (after the Cairngorms in Scotland) and the most visited.

It is home to the highest mountain in England - Scafell Pike; the deepest lake - Wast Water; the longest body of water - Windermere and the wettest inhabited place in England - Seathwaite in Borrowdale with an average of 3,300 mm of rain per year. That's 130 inches or nearly 11 feet! And nearby uninhabited Sprinkling Tarn is even wetter with over 5,000 mm, 200 inches or over 16 feet of rain per year.

The Lake District is also home to the majority of the red squirrels in England, along with red deer, fell ponies, Herdwick sheep, osprey and red kite. The last golden eagle hasn't been seen since 2015.

The main settlements to go walking from are: Ambleside, Bowness-on-Windermere, Broughton-in-Furness, Coniston, Glenridding, Gosforth, Grasmere, Hawkshead, Keswick, Lindale, Pooley Bridge, Newby Bridge, Staveley, Threlkeld, and Windermere.
