I visited the UK a few years ago and the beautiful pics you have really made me miss Scotland and the Lake District because I worked for a few months at Glenridding Hotel next to Ullswater!

You have created a truly wonderful site your photos are beautiful, as a "expat pom" from Nottingham, I visited your Lake District in 2004, being a big fan of JRRT, who wrote Lord Of The Rings, the Lake District reminded me of Middle Earth. Please Keep the site going. "ONE PHOTO TO RULE THEM ALL". Thank-you and all the best.

Hello and a huge THANK YOU for all these beautiful pictures! I took a trip through Northern England this autumn including some corners of the Lake District. The landscape is so lovely there that I can barely stand it to wait some time to get there again. It`s great to look at the wonderful images you captured and even recognize some places I went to, - almost like a little visit there in my mind. I've instantly bookmarked this page and am looking forward to the new pictures :o) Have a nice Christmas time!

I am so excited to have clicked into this website. I love and have never been to an English countryside. But, the moors have always fascinated me. Something about the beauty in their mystery. Perhaps one day I can be there and take pleasure in the real thing. But, for now, I will be ever elated to explore via the website and disappear during my afternoon break. Many thanks for your Godly giving and generosity to share. God's blessings and hearty thanks.

Hey, Andy, that's a great site! Some pictures are almost incredibly good and look like a work of art: Grasmere and Rydal Water, for example, or that "Dramatic Light in Langdale" of the more recent. I visit this beautiful site regularly, have been visiting it for two years and have hundreds of pictures on my hard disk. Great! Thank you.

My sister and I were evacuated here in the war. I visited my mum in Kent every year until she passed away in 2004. We have kept in touch with our Cumbrian family for over 60 years and visited there often. As my sister lives in Oregon, USA and I am in Canada we decided to scatter mum's ashes in the fells. What an awesome experience. I just love it there and your photos are brilliant. Thank you for sharing them.

Great web site and I must say a big thanks! I worked at Sellafield and lived in the Lakes for three years. But have not been back since 1982. As I am now looking back on my life, this site was a revelation when I found the screensaver and it certainly brought back a lot of memories and a few lumps in my throat! Will look forward to seeing more photos and hopefully I will get there again before too long.

What a lovely collection of photographs. Thank you for sharing this gift of beauty from your part of the world. I have yet to visit those parts having spent much of my childhood on the Isle of Wight. My wife though has very fond memories of times spent in the Lake district. Your photos will provide a special treat on my desktop. Many thanks. PS: Best wishes with your PhD ...

The Lakes occupy a fond spot in my heart. Memories of sleeping outside the Old Dungeon Ghyll hotel after several Old Peculiars, during that long, hot summer of 1976. Where are you Stan and Neil?

I am very grateful for your beautiful website and all your hard work which you share so generously with others. It is a treat for us busy souls who can't get to the Lake District as often as we would like.

Alastair Lee

Wolverhampton, UK
I've been coming to The Lake District since 1989; my parents have got a timeshare in Elterwater. I really enjoy the beauty of The Lakes and the peace and quiet. I usually come to the timeshare for a late summer holiday at the end of August, although I haven't been for a couple of years now. The last time I was in The Lake District was in August 2003 when I brought my then girlfriend and her parents to the timeshare and they loved it too. I'm looking forward to returning to The Lakes soon.

Great site, love the photos. Since my boyfriend moved to Cumbria we have started walking around the lakes which are beautiful. I've lived here all my life and until now never appreciated it. Your site does the Lake District justice, well done.

Thank you for all the beautiful and interesting photos. Every time I see the new e-mail bulletin with several new photos, I feel like I have been offered a very nice present, and I choose my new 'wallpaper' for the next few weeks. My twelve year old son, who has never been to the Lake District (or even to England) also enjoys these images very much. Looking at your photos helps me to forget the stress of every day life. Thank you very much!

Same name, same love of the Lake District. We have been going to the Lakes now for 16 years, having discovered the area in our later life. The feeling when you have reached the 'tops' is indescribable, like a drug, the more you get, the more you want!

Congratulations on "bagging" all of the Wainwrights. I completed them some years ago prior to moving to The Netherlands. I still try and visit the Lakes once or twice a year. Your site and the excellent photography remind me of what I miss most about England. Keep up the good work!

Just happened to come across the site by chance. Immediately had a quick look at a few of the Lake District pics. I'm drooling, I'm drooling!!! And still 179 to go. And then there's Wales waiting. And The Moors. And the Highlands. And ... Been at the District & Dartmoor one holiday; you do capture their immense beauty and quiet. So: big accolade for your photographs, and many thanks for letting us share this pleasure. I will return!
