Red squirrels are one of the most enchanting creatures you might spot scampering around the woodlands, an iconic symbol of the British countryside. Their distinctive tufted ears and red fur make them a memorable sight. Keep your eyes aloft too, as ospreys, Britain’s majestic sea hawks, can be spotted hunting in the lakes. On your travel, you will undoubtedly encounter the region’s most well-known residents, the Herdwick Sheep. Proudly roaming the fells, these sturdy creatures are significant to the local farming heritage and are easily recognised by their thick, grey wool and white faces.
