| The Lake District in North West England is one of the most beautiful
areas of the UK. Covering over 880 square miles, the Lake District National Park was created in 1951 and is the largest of England's
National Parks. It includes one third of the County of Cumbria from Caldbeck in the north to Lindale in the south, from Ravenglass in
the west to Shap in the east. The Lake District National Park contains 16 Lakes (and many smaller tarns), plus more than 150 high peaks, with four mountains over 3000 feet high, including Scafell Pike at 3206 ft England's highest mountain. The wallpaper photos on this page were taken during my visits to Cumbria in 2005. |

There's also lots of waterfalls in Cumbria. Moss Force nr Buttermere is an interesting one, with nice open views and less visitors than some of the more famous falls and forces. As with all falls, it's at it's best in Spring and Winter or after a heavy period of Summer rain. (not unknown in the Lake District). |
