Hidden Places of the Lake District and Cumbria Book

The Lake District is most famous for its impressive mountain scenery but not all is unforgiving highlands. The region also encompasses green rolling hills, fast flowing rivers, deep lush forests and of course the enchanting and languid lakes. The delightful county of Cumbria in which the Lakes reside is England's second largest county, but surprisingly has a relatively small population of only 490,000 people which is only slightly more numerous than the city of Leeds. Apart from the Lake District, Cumbria offers the visitor gentle moorland, craggy coastal headlands and scattered woodlands and like most places in the UK a fascinating history and cultural heritage.
