The English Lake District, comprising much of the county of Cumbria, is rightly celebrated for the glories of its scenery, its association with poets and artists, and its geology. One of the founding National Parks in the United Kingdom, it receives thousands of visitors world‐wide every year. Geologically, the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, and its ignimbrites in particular, is worthy of greater study; its localities are available to all.
