Take a look at what's going in and around the East of the Lake District:
[ ** RECURSION WARNING ** ]The rugged and craggy high fells of Helvellyn, Fairfield and High Street are split by the two upland valleys of Ullswater and Haweswater / Lowther. Farmland fringes the north-eastern margin of the East area, which contrasts with the high fells.
The East distinctive area is predominantly rural and tranquil and has the lowest population of any of the distinctive areas. Glenridding / Patterdale is the largest settlement, with other smaller villages including Askham, Pooley Bridge and Penruddock.
Ullswater is one of the four navigable lakes in the National Park, whilst Haweswater is a reservoir providing water supplies for the North West of England.

£48,972 has been awarded in grants to this area from the Lake District Communities Fund.
From the high fells to the shining sea, the Western Lake District is a land of contrasts. It has scenic beauty in abundance from wild and rugged mountains through to intimate farmed landscapes and 26 miles of Cumbrian coast.
The character of the majority of this area is remote with small, scattered communities. The population of the area is relatively small, just over 4,000 people, and the four main valleys that make up the Western Lakes are Ennerdale, Wasdale, Eskdale and the Duddon; each distinct in character, each a hidden gem.
Ennerdale is the most westerly of all the Lake District valleys and though much modified by human activity in the form of forestry, water extraction and farming, it is the large scale natural features of the valley that impose themselves and create an overriding sense of isolation, wildness and tranquillity.
Wasdale is a valley of contrasts with the imposing bulk and dramatic landform of Great Gable, Scafell, Kirk Fell and Yewbarrow enclosing the head of the valley which then runs south west and abruptly changes to a more gentle, wooded, pastoral landscape. The eastern part of the valley is amongst the most wild and dramatic scenery in the UK including, 79m deep Wastwater, England’s deepest, and 977m high Scafell Pike, Englan’d highest.
From these lofty heights Eskdale runs south-west to the sea through a changing landscape representing the full range of scenery associated with the progression of a river from a cascading upland beck to a fast flowing river in its mid-section then meandering slowly over the coastal plain to the open, tidal landscapes of the river estuary. The valley of the River Duddon runs south-west to an expansive estuary. Two of England’s, highest mountain road passes descend the watershed at the heads of the Eskdale and (Little) Langdale valleys joining from opposite directions to meet at Cockley Beck where a minor road then follows the course of the river down the Duddon Valley, also known as Dunnerdale.
Adam is the Area Ranger for the Western Lake District. Please get in touch with Adam if you have any queries or enquiries about our work in the West or community fund applications.
The Northern Lake District Distinctive Area is a mixture of upland limestone, high fell fringe, rugged high fell and upland valleys – from gently rolling improved farmland to the rounded mountain massifs of Skiddaw and Blencathra. Oak woodland is a distinctive landscape feature of the area.
There are significant tracts of common land including the Buttermere, Brackenthwaite, Caldbeck and Uldale Commons. Keswick and smaller settlements lie in valleys containing several lakes: Derwentwater, Bassenthwaite, Thirlmere, Buttermere, Loweswater and Crummock Water.
Thirlmere is significant as it is also a reservoir. The reservoir and surrounding valley is owned by United Utilities, a private water company, and still supplies over 220 million litres of water a day to Manchester and parts of Cumbria and Lancashire.
Bassenthwaite Lake is one of the largest water bodies in the Lake District. It is the only body of water in the Lake District to use the word "lake" in its name, all the others being "waters".

The central and south east area is the most highly developed, populated and visited part of the National Park. It has a diverse landscape ranging from the Kent Estuary through well wooded lowlands to valleys, lakes and into the mountainous heart of the National Park, offering a variety of experiences. It contains the towns of Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside, Grasmere and Staveley and the villages of Elterwater / Chapel Stile, Troutbeck, Troutbeck Bridge, Crosthwaite, Witherslack and Lindale.
Windermere, lies at the heart of this area. There are hotels and attractions along the length of the lake, and the upland valleys house living communities and are popular, especially with outdoor enthusiasts. Langdale and Grasmere attract the majority of attention; Kentmere and Longsleddale are less developed and offer greater tranquillity. The lower lying, southern part of the area includes the villages of Crosthwaite, Witherslack and Lindale.

Take a look at what's going in and around the East of the Lake District:
[ ** RECURSION WARNING ** ]The rugged and craggy high fells of Helvellyn, Fairfield and High Street are split by the two upland valleys of Ullswater and Haweswater / Lowther. Farmland fringes the north-eastern margin of the East area, which contrasts with the high fells.
The East distinctive area is predominantly rural and tranquil and has the lowest population of any of the distinctive areas. Glenridding / Patterdale is the largest settlement, with other smaller villages including Askham, Pooley Bridge and Penruddock.
Ullswater is one of the four navigable lakes in the National Park, whilst Haweswater is a reservoir providing water supplies for the North West of England.
