We’ll join an elite list of World Heritage sites – from Egypt’s pyramids and the Taj Mahal to Hadrian’s Wall. Get involved!
What three things add up to make the Lake District a special place?
- Our spectacular landscape, shaped by people for thousands of years through farming and industry.
- The Lakes drew romantic poets like Wordsworth, artists, adventure seekers and tourists alike – from inspiring picturesque villas and romantic poetry, to simply taking in the view.
- As the Lake District grew in popularity, so too did our desire to protect it, sparking the birth of a conservation movement – and the beginning of the National Trust and the National Parks.
The above gives us three key ingredients for World Heritage status.
