Lake District National Park - England

The Lake District National Park is located in the north-west of England and is the largest of the English National Parks and the second largest in the United Kingdom. It is in the central and most-visited part of the Lake District.

The National Park was formed in 1951 to protect the landscape by restricting unwelcome change from industry or commerce. Almost all of the land in the Park is in private ownership, with small areas belonging to the National Trust. In common with all other National Parks in England, there is no restriction on entry to or movement within the park along public routes, but access to cultivated land is usually restricted to public footpaths.

The highest mountains in England are within the Park boundary.

The lakes and mountains combine to form impressive scenery unique to this corner of England. Farmland, hill and settlement add aesthetic value to the natural scenery with an ecology modified by human influence for millennia and including important wildlife habitats. ( source Wikipedia )

I've been running in the hills here, I love the Lakes. Nice to get out of London up North as often as possible.

Grazioso. Ma la Francia è più bella e soprattutto più varia. I'm not French.

Right need an answer to this question when your in the forests do you just bump into people or is it so big / (people prefer to stick to the touristy bits) that it will be like it secluded

this is england, as the chap said below, the lakes , dales , fens etc all amazing places, and the towns in these places are clean and respectfall, friendly and welcoming, kept this way by real english people, compare these clean places to the other places that are seen by tourists and you can see why they have a bad opinion of this country, most of them only see london then go!, before any one says the predictable your racist, NO I AM NOT , just telling it how it is.
