The Lake District is both a National Park and a World Heritage Site with over 900 square miles of space and is protected because of its beautiful countryside, wildlife and cultural heritage.

All our donations and fundraising activity is delivered through the Lake District Foundation. This is an independent charity, part of the Lake District National Park Partnership, which raises funds for conservation, environmental and cultural heritage projects across the Lake District.

We maintain more than 3,100km of paths and bridleways. Millions of visitors, combined with our Cumbrian climate, means we are constantly carrying out improvements and maintenance. By making a donation today, you can help us look after this spectacular place now and in the future.
