Lake District National Park

Natural scenery

苏河家园

The lake area of England is magnificent, the lake is wide, the wooden boats are rows, the breeze is blowing, and the layers are rippling; the shore and the hillside are shaded by trees, and the air is fresh and cool. It is also the birthplace of Peter Rabbit, a classic image created by children&#39;s illustrator Beatrice Potter, and many of her works are set in the Lake District, which is worth a visit.
