World Heritage Site

The Lake District World Heritage Site has inspired generations, from Romantic artists and writers like Wordsworth and Coleridge to present-day nature lovers and outdoor adventurers. And its stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity, and cultural heritage have been shaped over centuries.

This iconic region deserves investment to preserve its natural beauty and cultural significance and ensure it continues to inspire future generations.

Our projects are also unrivalled opportunities for you – and for the Lake District; together, we can protect its unique ecosystems and support sustainable development.
