Parc national du Lake District
Le Lake District est un parc national anglais qui fait partie du Cumbria. Avec ses 2 280 km2 de lacs et de montagnes, c'est le plus grand parc national d'Angleterre. On y trouve les montagnes les plus hautes d'Angleterre, dont Scafell Pike (978 m), son point culminant. La région, royaume du randonneur, est connue pour être l'inspiration des Lakistes, notamment William Wordsworth.

Stickle Tarn, Langdale
Stickle Tarn is a small tarn near Harrison Stickle in Lake District, England. The tarn was enlarged by the building of a stone dam in 1838 and is used to supply water for the inhabitants of Langdale. The tarn is situated in a corrie, flanked on the west side by Harrison Stickle, and on the north by the massive imposing bulk of Pavey Ark's south face. The tarn is frequently visited by fellwalkers ascending to Pavey Ark's summit, or en route to High Raise from Great Langdale.
In February 2015 it was put up for sale by the Lake District National Park Authority, which was seeking to reduce its landholdings in the national park.
The walk from Langdale to Stickle Tarn is one of the most popular in the Lake District, and short enough to be a relatively easy outing for families.

The fell is one of the three (although the number is debated) fells which make up the picturesque Langdale Pikes, the others being Pike of Stickle and Loft Crag.
