The hike starts at the foot of Helvellyn near the shore of Thirlmere and finishes in the market town of Keswick. The Lake District National Park, also known as The Lakes, is one of the few mountainous regions in England and features large U-shaped valleys, many of which are now filled with Lakes giving the area it’s name.
