GCSE Geography> Leisure and tourism> Lake District
Conflicts can occur:
Most popular national park in the UK.
Has lakes and mountains.
Offers a large range of activities such a boating, walking, climbing and historic interest.

These activities cause conflicts:
Popular walking areas suffer from erosion.
Mountain bikes and horses spoil the landscape by churning up the grass into mud.
Speed boats create noise pollution which annoys other boaters and tourists.
Cars cause traffic jams at popular times and air pollution.
There are not enough parking spaces for cars so they have to park in the road and on grass.
Tourists park in front of farmer's gates - blocking the farmers' entrance.
Tourists drop litter and pick wild flowers.

What can be done to solve it?
Some roads completely closed and others can be closed except for local traffic.
A park and ride scheme could be created.
This makes it more pleasant for other tourists.
BUT people in the tourist industry lose out as if you have a shop on a busy road, it will get more trade than a shop on a road which is closed to traffic.
Speed restrictions on lakes.
Limit public access to footpaths and fence off sensitive areas.
