The landscape in the Lake District is among the most popular in England. Located northeast of Manchester, the Lake District National Park has an abundance of lakes in an area filled with medium-sized mountains. Mounts Skiddaw and Helvellyn reach just under 3280 ft at their peak. Several lakes are used for water sports: notably the Dervent Water and the Thirlmere. The Castlerigg standing stones are also in the area. Several trekking itineries enable you to walk around the region. The walk that crosses the Saint John valley is exceptionally beautiful.
