The Lake District has failed to be approved as a natural World Heritage Site, because of human activities, such as commercial forestry, which have adversely impacted the park's assessment.

Farmland and settlement add aesthetic value to the natural scenery with an ecology modified by human influence for millennia and including important wildlife habitats. The lakes and mountains combine to form impressive scenery. Much of the uncultivated land has statutory open access rights - which cover around 50% of the park. In common with all other national parks in England, there is no restriction on entry to, or movement within the park along public routes, but access to cultivated land is usually restricted to public footpaths, bridleways and byways. It runs a visitor centre on Windermere at a former country house called Brockhole, Coniston Boating Centre and Information Centres. The National Park Authority is based at offices in Kendal. The National Trust owns about a quarter of the total area (including some lakes and land of significant landscape value), United Utilities owns 8% and 3.9% belongs to the Lake District National Park Authority. Most of the land in the park is in private ownership. Its aim is to protect the landscape by restricting unwelcome change by industry or commerce. The area, which was designated a national park on (less than a month after the first UK national park designation - the Peak District), is the most visited national park in the United Kingdom with 15.8 million annual visitors and more than 23 million annual day visits, the largest of the thirteen national parks in England and Wales, and the second largest in the UK after the Cairngorms. The Lake District National Park includes nearly all of the Lake District, though the town of Kendal and the Lakeland Peninsulas are currently outside the park boundary.
