The Lake District, UK

World is such a beautiful place to live. In the whole world, God made a huge number of beautiful places. Today, i am going to talk about one of the place which is called ''The Lake District''. It's one of the most beautiful places of Britain.

The Lake District is very popular to the tourists because of its finest scenery, greenest countryside and heart-touching views. The total area of this place is just over 885 square miles. Its wonderful lakes, valleys, woodlands and hills made this place best in Britain to go for a outdoor and make it memorable

The Lake District has also a connection with artistic and literary. The famous poet William Wordsworth, who was born in Cockermouth in 1770, most of the poetic inspiration he has drew from the surrounding landscape. Others, such as John Ruskin, Beatrix Potter, Arthur Ransome and Alfred Wainwright also followed the Lakeland Fells to their work.

Generally, in winter season is not suitable for this place because of raining. The beginning and the end of the winter is full of rainfall. The rare thing is heavy showers can strike at any time of year but heavy snow is common in winter specifically in November till February and that time the rural roads become unusable.

On the other hand, the busiest season starting from June till August when the prices goes to high, car-parking get packed and traffic jams became frequently. That's why, the best time for visiting are only four months in a year such as April and May or September and October. In April-May, the weather is generally settled, sunny and in September-October, autumnal colour blazes the woodlands.

The main towns of Windermere and Ambleside make the most useful bases, with easy access to the main sights of the central Lakes – including the lakes of Windermere and Coniston Water, the scenic valley of Great Langdale, Wordworth’s former homes near Grasmere and Beatrix Potter’s cottage at Hill Top. To the north lies Keswick, a good base for exploring the northern Lakes and the beautiful valleys of Borrowdale, Buttermere and Newlands. To the west lies Wasdale, home to some of the Lake District’s most famous fells – including the highest of all, Scafell Pike. For the eastern Lakes, Kendal is handily placed for exploring the area around Ullswater and the pretty Eden Valley.

The Lakeland fells aren't necessarily an easy proposition. Faint trails, steep climbs and big drops are all frequent hazards, and the weather can change within a minute. So, make sure that you should prepared for that.

For visitors, the must need some essential items such as proper boots, good waterproofs (ideally Gore-Tex or equivalent), plenty of food and enough water and a walking map with detail information. Also a compass is very useful, but it will be helpful to you if you actually know how to use it. You can carry a mobile phone in case of emergencies, but it's very hard to get a signal.
