Poetically pastoral

The lowland known as Little Langdale has inspired countless artists and poets, just like the rest of England's Lake District. You'll note that nothing about this vast ravine feels 'little': It's only called that to differentiate it from the next valley over, Great Langdale. This cozy corner of Cumbria was once a trading crossroads, valued by merchants and smugglers alike for its proximity to mountain passes. Nowadays it's popular with hikers, climbers, and other adventurers looking for a pastoral and poetic paradise.
