About
The Lake District attracts upwards of 25 million visitors every year. With its beautiful, dramatic scenery and rich history it is easy to understand why people are drawn to the area. The tourist industry has not always resembled what it is now, in fact William and Dorothy Wordsworth witnessed a dramatic change in tourism to the Lake District within their lifetimes.
Our exhibition ‘To the Lakes!’ invites today’s visitors to experience the Lake District through the words and images captured by tourists 200 years ago – the things they did, the places they would stay, the equipment they needed and the clothes they wore.
