Dry stone walls line a road in the Lake District in northwest England. The lakes and mountains of this picturesque area were attracting tourists by the end of the 18th century and by 1951 the government formed the Lake District National Park to protect the area from becoming over developed. Its most famous inhabitant was the poet William Wordsworth.
