The Lake District gets 16.4 million visitors every year.

The average price of a house in the village of Grasmere is over £350,000, while the average household income is only £27,000. Many local people cannot afford to stay living in the area.

It is estimated that 89% of visitors to the Lake District arrive by car. This makes roads very busy.

Businesses in tourist hotspots like Ambleside cater mainly for tourists. About 40% are cafes, restaurants and hotels and around 10% sell outdoor clothing.

More than 16% of properties in the Lake District National Park are second homes or holiday homes. This means there are fewer people living in the area in winter, so some shops and services close down for several months.

In 2012, planning permission was granted for 134 affordable homes and 141 houses that only local people are allowed to buy – they cannot be used as holiday homes or lets.
