The Lake District, England is a mountainous area in northwestern England. Also known by locals as just The Lakes, the area is a popular holiday destination for locals and tourists alike. The landscape is dotted with mountains, forests and, you guessed it, lakes. The district is protected as a national park and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park contains all of the mountains in England that reach over 3,000 feet, including the country's highest peak, Scafell Pike. On the other end of the spectrum, the area also contains the deepest and longest lakes in England. The lakes are beautiful virtually anytime of year; however, April starts the peak tourist season, which runs through October. The weather is just starting to warm up and you will see daffodils scattered throughout the landscape. Map
