After living nearly four years in Manchester we decided to move to Cumbria. Since 2018, we have been exploring Cumbria and in particular the Lake District National Park. This park was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2017. It is the biggest national park in England with an area of 2362 km2. Cumbria also contains a part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and of the North Pennines AONB.
