What gives Lakeland its compelling appeal? Is it the tranquil
beauty
of the lakes and tarns? The peace and solitude of the rugged fells, the
heart-stopping views from their summits, or the sunlight ablaze on the
bracken as winter beckons? The rare glimpse of a red squirrel or a
coruscating blue damselfly? The trilling of the larks, the burble of
the becks, and the crash of the waterfalls? It is all this and more. This
living landscape has a unique presence immediately apparent and never
forgotten.
