The Lake District
10 videos • 39 views • by David Soakell The English Lake District has always been one of my favourite places in the world. For sheer scenic splendour (at least in my opinion), few places in England (or indeed the world) can measure up to the outlandishly beautiful Lake District. The landscape of the Lakes is as breath-taking as any you’ll find in Switzerland or the French Alps – a sweeping panorama of humpbacked mountains, razorblade crags and scree-covered hillsides, strewn with mountainous tarns and some of the largest natural lakes anywhere in England.
