[QUOTE="Bill the Bass, post: 6516314, member: 1559"] The Lake District National Park is probably the extreme end. Iirc there are about 18 million over night visitors and 36million day visitors to an area that is about 2200km square. To put that in perspective London gets about 30 million visitors. Bare in mind there is no tube system, no main line rail link and very poor road infrastructure to manage all these visitors. Traveling round the park for business reasons or to farm in the valleys has become nearly impossible. I of ten have to work in the central lakes, it should take about 45 minutes drive, in peak season it can take over three hours and some days (fridays usually) u just don’t bother. The park is seriously giving to have to consider shutting some areas to traffic or bringing in a congestion charge. From a farming point of view on some farms the biggest cause of sheep mortality is dog worrying. [/QUOTE]
