The lake district:
Hannah ssr 9XI
The lake District national park was designated as a national park on the 9th of may 1951, it is the most visited national park with 23 million annual day visitors and a futher 15.8 million annual visitors. It is the largest of the 13 national parks in england and wales and retained its original boundaries until 2016 where it was extended by 3% in the directional of yorkshire dales national park leaving it with a total area of 2.362km².
The Lake District has many appealing attractions to offer to the millions of vistors including: widndermere lake cruises which transport you amongst the grandeur of spectacular mountain scenery and the Honister Slate Mine and Via Ferrata where you can climb deep inside the heart of a mountain on a mine tour.
The lake District national park has many unique qualities that sets it apart from all others: its thirteen induvidual districts each hold captivating sceneray and cultral heritige of its own disticivness. There are also many notable georgaphical features spread amougst the lake district; These include Striding edge, The bowder stone, Lake Windermenre, Helvellyn and Red tarn
Helvellyn
Red tarn
Helvellyn is one of England's highest mountains stading 949 meter above sea level and is made up of igneous rocks that formed 450 million years ago. Helvellyn is a mountain conatining several glaical landforms that were formed during the last ice age, 20,000 years ago. The large glaciers that dominated the landscape carved out glacial landforms such as arêtes, corries and glacial troughs. Two arêtes, Striding edge and Swirral edge, ascend to the summit of Helvellyn and Striding edge forms the back of the Red tarn corrie.
Red tarn is a corrie on the eastern side of the summit of Helvellyn, it has several distintive features including a corrie lake (tarn), steep-sided and narrow ridges (arêtes) and a steep back wall,created by plucking and freeze- thaw weathering. Red tarn is one of three other corries in the Lake district and is a crucial habitiat for the endangered schelly fish. It lies at an altidue of 718 meters and has a depth of 25 meters.
Lake Windermere
Striding Edge
The Bowder stone
Lake Windermereis the largest natural lake in england, it is more than 18km in length and at its widest almost 1.5km. Lake Windermere is a ribbon lake, formed at the start of the current interclacial period due to ice retreat in a glacial trough. It is located in the the southeastern part of the district and lies along the border of histories counties westmorland and lancanshire.
Striding Edge is an arête, a narrow ridge or rock sperating two valleys. It is one of five ridges that radiate out from Helvellyn's summit. It was formed the most recent glacial period through processes of erosion and freeze thaw - Bulldozing ice pushes materua of all shapes and sizes as it moves slowly forward. Although Strising edge is a popular triaal for climbers in order to do the trail you should be well prepared as sadly the have been a few incidents were unexperinced climbers have not anaticipated changes in weather and have sadly passed climbing Striding edge.
The Bowder Stone is an erractic landform estimated at 2,000 tons in wight and around 9 m in height and 15 m in diamter. Erracitics occur during glacial periods due to glaciers picking up large chunks of rocks and transporting them over long distances. When the rocks are dropped they are often far from the origin and help us understand the story of a glciers travels
