Welcome to Friends of the Lake District
Description
What do we mean by special qualities?
The county's landscape is a unique blend of physical and cultural characteristics. It possesses a diversity of environments: spectacular mountains and rugged fells; pastoral and wooded valleys; and numerous lakes, tarns and rivers, many of which are of national and international importance.
Still waters on Derwentwater - reflecting the special qualities of the Lake District
The character of the area is reflected in its human history, inspiring the personalities, life styles and traditions of its people. Moreover the area's distinctiveness provides an important sense of place for local communities, who, along with many others, enjoy the freedom and tranquility which the long tradition of public access has provided.
How do we operate?
We are a membership organisation with supporters throughout Britain and abroad. We work alongside other organisations and local groups to achieve a stronger recognition of the contribution of landscapes to the well-being of the nation and of the need to protect them from the effects of damaging developments.
