The Lake District is one of the United Kingdom’s fifteen National Parks and is an area bestowed with both natural beauty and historical treasures within its boundary of 800 square miles. The complex geology of the underlying rock was moulded into its current appearance by glaciers resulting in deep U shaped valleys and rounded mountains that are not as angular and rugged in shape as those found in, say, Snowdonia National Park but none the less just as dramatic and beautiful. Man has been in the area for over six thousand years leaving behind archaeological artefacts to be discovered in the present day.
