The evergreen English Lake District has moved great poets, artists and authors for generations and Helen Maclagan of UNESCO declared the Lakes “A priceless and irreplaceable asset, not only to the UK but to humanity as a whole”.

Photographer Maurizio Rellini explored the landscapes that inspired William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Arthur Ransome and Beatrix Potter.
