More investment obviously required.
Flatten it out a bit.
Some of the lakes are quite wide in places.
Sort out the rain.
A theme park or two? smile

We absolutely LOVE the Lake District!

Everybody knows it’s there....
There is no need for anyone to feel it isn’t for them, unless the countryside and walking is really not their choice.

Leave it alone I say. It's wonderful.

The Lake District is seeking to broaden its appeal, amid concerns that swathes of the population feel excluded from national parks.

Richard Leafe, head of the Lake District National Park Authority in Cumbria, told Sky News that the parks' visitors are overwhelmingly older, able-bodied white people.
