lake district

Wordsworth’s poetry is synonymous with the stunning landscapes of the Lake District. But it wasn’t just Wordsworth, a number of our most revered writers and poets found their inspiration in the dramatic landscapes with their solitude and peace. And so, it is no wonder that it provides an enormous attraction for landscape photographers. Its 900 square miles are crammed with the most scenic landscapes often only associated with parts of Scotland; as if it’s a fore-taste of what to expect for those prepared to venture even further north.
