The park covers an area of 912 square miles (2,362 sq km), making it the largest national park in England and the second largest of the United Kingdom after Cairngorms National Park in the Scotland.<\/p><p>It is the most popular park of the United Kingdom based on the number of visitors, which is over 16 million annually. Yorkshire Dales National Park is a neighbour directly east of the national park.<\/p><p>The park comprises the entire area known as the Lake District, which includes several lakes, forests, and mountains. There are 16-different lakes scattered amongst the hills and miniature mountainous landscapes. Over 150 of these mountains exist, the tallest of which is Scafell Pike.<\/p><p>The protected area is also unique from a cultural and historical perspective. Around 400 villages and small towns are scattered across the countryside, and 1,760 different buildings blanket these settlements.<\/p><p>Numerous dales and valleys combined with the cultivated farmlands create abundant picturesque landscapes. Many travellers like driving throughout the area, capturing the quaintness of these settlements amongst the beauty of the lakes and rolling hills.<\/p><p>One thing that makes the Lake District National Park unique is the division of ownership. Approximately 50% in the park boundaries are accounted for by private landowners. The National Trust owns another 25%, and United Utilities owns 8%. Only 3.9% is owned by the Lake District National Park Authority.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2e80417 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2e80417\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b012492\" data-id=\"b012492\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b4c83f elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"3b4c83f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5646801922407630\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5646801922407630\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3372357778\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-04a9792 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"04a9792\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a69bd82\" data-id=\"a69bd82\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a06c1a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a06c1a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Highlights\"><\/span>Highlights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a54a33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9a54a33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Drives through the beautiful countryside, with its many lakes and mountains dotting the landscape filled with countless settlements, are among the most popular pastimes.
