All properties are now open, and access is available to nearly all of the Lake District fells.
The National Trust Lake District Crisis Fund has been set up to help farmers and countryside affected by the current foot and mouth epidemic which is devastating Cumbria. United Utilities is giving 1 to the fund for each visitor to their website for the next 100 days to raise 50,000 - so please help us. All you have to do is click on the link below and you'll be seconds away from ensuring another 1 goes to help the Lake District during these dreadful times. The National Trust's most important work in Cumbria is the conservation of about one quarter of the Lake District National Park. These 123500 acres are about a quarter of the National Trust's entire holding.
