| Inside is the Lake District National Park, an area some 30 miles across, containing England's highest mountains (four over 3000 ft), and some of the biggest lakes.

| The Carlisle Railway was the last great mainline railway to be built in this country. Consisting of 72 miles of track with 17 major viaducts spanning the ravines and 14 tunnels. it was completed for passenger travel in 1876, and advertised as the most picturesque route to Scotland from England. Despite recent threats of closure, it has now been given a new lease of life, with much improvement work being done, and some of the closed stations re-opened and renovated. | |
