The Lake District: A Bird's Eye View200 years ago the Lake District's greatest poet, William Wordsworth, invited readers to imagine they were on a cloud hovering above Great Gable and the Scafell range - the highest land in England. Starting from where Wordsworth could only imagine, this video takes a breathtaking bird's eye view of the landscape that was his inspiration. Fly over Lakeland's best loved mountains including Helvellyn, the Langdale Pikes, Pillar and, of course, Scafell Pike and Great Gable - symbol of the Lake District National Park. Enjoy the scenery of Ullswater and Grasmere as well as the hustle and bustle of Windermere. See these and more of your favourite Lakeland places both in glorious summer and etched with the snows of winter.
