The Lake District, also known as the Lakes or Lakeland, is a mountainous region and national park in Cumbria, North West England.It is famous for its landscape, including its lakes, coast, and the Cumbrian mountains, and for its literary associations with Beatrix Potter, John Ruskin, and the Lake Poets.
The map shows the locations of the lakes with a volume over 4 x 10 6 m³ and gives an indication of the volume of water in each lake. The markers suggest this by showing the size of a drop of water where the volume of the drop would be in proportion to the quantity of water in the lake (the diameter of the drop is proportional to the cube root of the lake's volume).
The valley has an annual rainfall of 2,408 millimetres (94.8 in), [8] higher than the Lake District average, which is itself considerably wetter than the UK average. The land in Little Langdale is now mainly used for sheep and cattle farming, although until 1940 at least some of the farmland was ploughed.
The Lake District has 17 businesses open, including Chick-fil-A, Villa Castrioti restaurant, Frost Bake Shop, Lake District Wine and Liquor, Wayback Burgers, Starbucks and Portalas Mexican Restaurant.
