The houses and castles of the Lake District, secreted among the lakes and fells, are inextricably linked with their dramatic setting. Many are architecturally distinguished, even more have intriguing tales to tell.

Clive Boursnell's stunning photographs capture the houses, inside and out, their gardens and their setting.
