The Lake District contains England's highest peak in Scafell Pike which stands 3,210 feet above sea level. Along with the highest mountain Cumbria also holds the largest lake in Lake Windermere, 10.5 miles long and 1 mile wide.

The traditional steel, coal and iron of the coastal towns has been replaced by the modern industries such as chemicals, plastics and electronics. To the north and east of the county dairy farming is prevailant with West Cumberland Farmers being Great Britain's largest agricultural co-operative.

One famous son of Cumbria is William Wordsworth with the home of Samuel Coleridge to be found at Keswick.
