The Lake District National Park Wall Map is carved from solid maple and engraved with a sharp, clean map design. It is divided into four 30cm square Wall Maps. This extensive and detailed piece gives an impressive overview of the park and includes the boundary line.
We use FSC certified staved maple, formed from several solid pieces. The maple is carved to shape based on Ordnance Survey height data. The map is also based on OS data and is engraved onto the shaped surface. It is carefully finished with a natural blend of oils and waxes.
The Lake District, also known as the Lakes or Lakeland, is a mountainous region in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes, forests and mountains (or fells), and its associations with William Wordsworth and other Lake Poets and also with Beatrix Potter and John Ruskin. The National Park was established in 1951 and covers an area of 2,362 square kilometres. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017. It is the most visited national park in the United Kingdom with 15.8 million annual visitors and more than 23 million annual day visits.
It retained its original boundaries until 2016 when it was extended by 3% in the direction of the Yorkshire Dales National Park to incorporate areas such as land of high landscape value in the Lune Valley.
