1. How do we use corries?
The steep slopes and cold snowy winters attract skiers
The lochs are a tourist attraction too
Lochs can be used as reservoirs for Hydroelectric power (HEP) schemes

2. U-shaped valleys and people
The very steep sides are difficult to farm and are often forested
People can farm and build on the flat valley floor, but it is sometimes marshy
The south-facing slopes are sunnier and warmer and used more than the north-facing slopes
The dramatic scenery attracts many tourists throughout the year

3. Hanging valleys and people
Waterfalls are a tourist attraction
The force of the water at waterfalls can be used to make hydroelectricity

4. Land Uses in the Lake District

5. Land Use Conflicts
The variety of different land uses inevitably causes disagreements
Most of this conflict results from the mass influx of tourists to the region, especially during the summer months
As there are so many different landowners and land users, many conflicts arise
Management strategies are designed to minimise these conflicts

6. Tourists vs Farmers Problems Solutions Walkers leave gates open
Farmers display 'keep gate closed' signs
Dogs chase sheep
Park rangers are employed to prevent problems by encouraging responsible tourism
Stone walls are damaged
Voluntary bodies, such as the National Trust, protect areas by buying land and buildings, and maintaining walls and footpaths
Farmers may restrict access to walkers at certain times, eg lambing season
Park rangers liaise with different land users to minimise problems
Noise disturbs animals
Visitor centre staff aim to educate the public about the 'Countryside Code/Outdoor Access Code'

7. Tourists vs locals Problems Solutions Increased litter
National Parks have removed litter bins in the hope that people take their litter home
Traffic congestion at peak times impedes locals going about their daily business
One-way systems (Ambleside), pedestrianised areas (Keswick) and improved public transport have been introduced to reduce the effect of traffic congestion
Footpath erosion results in visual pollution in popular walking areas, eg on the mountain Helvellyn
National Park officers can build stone paths to reduce footpath erosion and put up signs to direct walkers along alternative routes
More noise and air pollution from increased traffic
Rail and bus services have been improved to reduce the number of cars in the national park
Services may close as second home owners are not permanent residents
Weekly vans providing services to small villages, eg mobile library
