Lockdown across the UK has curtailed many of our activities but we know that a connection to nature and the landscape is vital for our wellbeing and while we’re all staying at home for a while, we can still bring the Lake District to you. We’re replacing our monthly e-newsletter with this fortnightly update to share ideas and to help keep you connected with the countryside, and keep you occupied at home in these challenging times. We'll upload them here each week. If you want to receive them via a weekly email then do join our mailing list. You can sign up to our newsletter at the bottom of this page.
