Welcome to the learning section! 

If you’re learning about the Lake District National Park and World Heritage Site at school or college, here you can find information about the area, how it is managed and opportunities for educational visits.

We want everyone who learns in the Lake District to go home with some simple messages. By giving people both information and memorable experiences, we encourage them to make positive contributions to conserving and enhancing the Lake District National Park.
