As the weather cools, and everything grows more slowly, careless damage to the landscape takes even longer for nature to heal. Please only camp responsibly and leave no trace.

Three years ago today the @lakedistrictnpa became a #WorldHeritageSite, joining a prestigious list of special places and landscapes around the World.
Delighted to be here to see @brockhole and @TreetopTrekUK reopening. With lots of beautiful outdoor space, our new terrace offering and epic activities - it’s the perfect place for your safe #LakeDistrict day out. #weregoodtogo #theperfectplacetobe

We would like to thank the British Public for heeding our call not to rush back to the Lake District National Park. Our rural communities need time to prepare for the new normal.
Lake District National Park Chief Executive Richard Leafe says in the last 24 hours they’ve encountered dozens of people attempting to camp overnight in the Lake District and many people returning to their second homes. @LakesChief

Very proud of the team & all our partners for working around the clock to prepare the #LakeDistrict for this new phase of #SocialDistancing. Please try and exercise locally, but if you MUST come, please stay safe, respect our local communities and come prepared.
