The Lakes has always been a firm favourite for tourists and every year sees thousands of tourist descend on the area.

It is expected that this summer will be one of the Lakes busiest ever as international travel remains affected by the coronavirus pandemic. 

Chris Wingrove, volunteer team leader with the Lake Disrict National Park, said: "We know that this is going to be a very busy summer so we'll be on hand to advise if an area is very busy and make suggestions about alternative local destinations."
