55KThe Lake District: A Wild Year (TV Movie 2017). The Lake District: A Wild Year: Directed by Simon Blakeney. With Bernard Cribbins. The Lake District, nearly all a national park, covers a mountainous region in NW England's Cumbria county, and contains Windemere and other lakes, England's largest and deepest. The seasons dominate tourism, the dominant modern sector as it is the most popular domestic destination, with walks, aquatic fun and lake tours, as well as traditional rural life, including old-fashioned games and competitions at Rusland. While the varied environment is home to many wildlife species, some rare or even unique, the agricultural pride is the local Herdwick sheep, which produces fine wool and survives outdoors on high slopes even in harsh winters.
“Misleading title – the documentary is 80% about local people, tourism and sheep farming, not wildlife.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlso itu0026#39;s really heavy-handed with camera effects, eg. Not sure why every 6-second segment of someone walking down a path needs 3 crossfade transitions.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt features a few nice landscape- and macro timelapses, but I canu0026#39;t recommend it to viewers who would want to watch if for the wildlife or nature scenes.”
