Le Lake District, dans le nord-ouest de l'Angleterre, est le plus grand parc national du pays : des lacs, des collines (les fells), des moutons et des villages en pierre. Il a inspiré de nombreux artistes. Beatrix Potter (1866-1943), autrice et illustratrice d'histoires d'animaux pour enfants, y a acheté des fermes avec l'argent de ses livres pour protéger le paysage et les moutons locaux. À sa mort, elle a légué ses terres au National Trust, une association qui protège le patrimoine. Relatives : who (personne), which (chose), where (lieu).
