Introduction The National Trust Central & East Lakes Ranger Team look after nearly 10,000 hectares of valleys, lakes and fells in Great Langdale, Grasmere, Windermere, Troutbeck and Ullswater.  The area has a wide range of landscapes and habitats that are either owned or managed by National Trust including some twenty-five tenanted farms. It contains around 650 hectares of woodlands as well as scattered copses and thousands of individual trees. Access is provided to the shores of several lakes and tarns including England’s largest natural lake, Windermere. We also care for a number of interesting buildings, impressive gardens and even own and manage a pub, the Sticklebarn Tavern. In addition we undertake the repair and maintenance of a network of upland paths such as those leading up to the prehistoric axe factories in the Langdale Pikes and to the summit of Bowfell at over 900 metres.
