    Despite the Lake District's recent designation as a World Heritage Site, the area is under increasing pressure from inappropriate development that threatens to destroy the peace, tranquility and wildness that makes it such a special place. More than ever, the Lake District needs all the protection it can get.

  • Local Plan focuses too heavily on development over the environment

    Read our concerns about the Lake District National Park’s Local Plan Review, and how to respond to the public consultation.

  • Sarah and Adam’s fundraising

    Friends of the Lake District will use the funds raised on this walk to go towards their vital work looking after native woodlands and hay meadows; running campaigns to protect the Lake District from inappropriate developments and helping people volunteer, learn skills and engage with this spectacular landscape.

In a world of fast pace and change and more external pressures than ever before, it is easy to forget that landscape is all around us and supports us. This is why we created our Why Landscape Matters campaign. We are asking people to join with us and remember why our landscapes matter to us, celebrate and enjoy them, and support our work to keep them special.
