The National Trust in the Lake District

Wastwater, Wasdale has been voted as Britain's Favourite View!

Beautiful scenery, fascinating culture, historic buildings, glorious gardens and countless outdoor pursuits... We look after a quarter of the land in the Lake District National Park: including England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike and deepest lake, Wastwater, plus 90 farms and hundreds of miles of paths; tracks and stone walls.

You can help our countryside conservation work by becoming a member or supporting the Fix the Fells campaign.
