Parks & Nature
Wasdale is a scenic valley with Wastwater the deepest lake in England, Scafell Pike the highest peak in England and more including Great Gable. I've included Romance as a key word as we had house guests who got engaged at the top of Scafell Pike and are now married :)

Beautiful valley with the River Esk running through, wonderful riverside walks and more challenging hikes too. Leads to the steepest hill in England, the Hardknott Pass (not for nervous drivers) and the ruins of the Hardknott Roman Fort.
