Why This Place Is Easily the Most Scenic Destination in All of England

What makes this area so unique is its close proximity to another national park: the Yorkshire Dales. Just a short drive south from the Lake District is where you'll find stone-built villages, stunning landscapes, and vibrant communities all encompassed in one national park.

If you find yourself in this area, one particular valley I recommend exploring is Barbondale. Here, you will be greeted with picturesque towns, cattle grids, and roads so narrow, you can hardly fit a compact-size car on them.
