Experience the beauty of
the Lake District

"The hills are eternal. Always there will be the lonely ridge, the dancing beck, the silent forest; always there will be the exhilaration of the summits."
— AW, Wasdale Mosedale Horseshoe

"Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean."
— John Muir, Son of the Wilderness

"Eskdale is the valley where walkers really come into their own, a sanctuary of peace and solitude, a very special preserve for those who travel on foot."
— AW, Exploring Upper Eskdale

"This is a thrilling spot. One's feet are on the ground, but one's eyes see as from a cloud in the heavens."
— AW, Red Pike, Scoat Fell, Steeple & Haycock
