England Cycle Routes > Cumbria
Located in the top of the north west, bordering Scotland, is mostly rural. The Lake District National Park is one of the most beautiful areas of England. These people have always been attacked by Scotland and invaded by the vikings, so they are very proud of who they are and the English traditions, even though they have a heavy Norse and Scandinavian influence. To explore the area besides the national park, there are 12 houses/castles, a zoo and 6 museums.
