The water may look inviting but even on a warm day the water will be cold. It doesn’t matter if you are a strong swimmer. Jumping into the water to cool off can lead to cold water shock, which can result in drowning. #BeWaterAware

The weather is continuing to heat up this week. If you’re out in our countryside please do not have any open flames. Wildfires can spread and cause irreparable damage and could cost lives. If you see a wildfire, please call 999.

Please don't have BBQs or camp fires in the Lake District, especially during this dry warm weather. Please be #LakeDistrictKind 💚

Unfortunately this was the result of two disposable BBQs on the fell side. With the hot weather and the large number of visitors we are expecting over the coming weeks, we respectfully ask everyone to be aware of the potential dangers and act responsibly 🙏♨️🏕
