Many folk have ventured to 'The Lakes' in search of William Wordsworth's 'host of golden daffodils' or drawn by memories of Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons, or merely by the enticing and captivating names of Buttermere, Catbells, Ambleside, Wastwater, Troutbeck, Wrynose Pass, Crinkle Crags and Langdale Pikes. This is a region of challenging geology and picturesque beauty, but also a long, unique and fascinating history.
