flag The Lake District faces strain from 18 million tourists, prompting calls for a tax to address overcrowding, pollution, and community disruption.

flag The Lake District, a beloved British national park, faces increasing strain from over 18 million annual visitors, far surpassing its 40,000 residents, prompting calls for a tourist tax. flag Locals report traffic congestion, illegal parking, and antisocial behavior linked to stag and hen parties, leading some towns to hire street support officers. flag Environmental damage is mounting, with repeated sewage spills—both untreated and treated—contributing to harmful algal blooms in Lake Windermere. flag Officials stress that the sheer volume of visitors, not just individual actions, overwhelms infrastructure and ecosystems, threatening the park’s natural and community well-being.
