umbria
is probably England's most picturesque county. The majority of the county is made up of
the Lake District, a region of high peaks and picturesque lakes carved out by glaciers
some 10,000 years ago during the last Ice Age. Wordsworth and his companions popularised a
taste for nature's wilder manifestations, and soon the Lake District became a popular
destination for artists and writers looking for inspiration among the crags, mountain
passes, waterfalls, and lakes. Today, the popularity of Lake Windermere, Kendal, and
Grasmere, as well as Beatrix Potter's house near Sawrey can be found among some of
England's highest peaks.
