Walking BritainThirlmere is least scenic of the Lakes
Walk Photo 122902
Caption - Thirlmere is probably the least scenic of the Lakes suffering from an overdose of conifers. However climbing Helvellyn from Wythburn you are soon clear of the trees and are able to enjoy the beauty of the scene. The left-hand horizon is filled with the bulk of Skiddaw whilst to the right Blencathra's western slopes are in view.

Lake District
Walking in the Lake District National Park is amongst the best in the British Isles. The natural beauty has attracted many artists and writers through the centuries and today the same scenery provides the perfect backdrop to a wide variety of walks. The National Park is located wholly within Cumbria with Windermere, Ambleside and Keswick the main tourist towns. For many this is the finest area in England for walking with a wide variety of scenery. Even on the busiest weekends it is possible to get away from the crowds by carefully selecting one of the less-visited fells. More Information
