You could live there. As long as you can afford the sky-high house prices and put up with millions of tourists clogging up the beautiul landscape for most of the year. You wouldn't have mind that many local people can't afford to live there and have to work seasonal jobs because tourism is the only industry.

I know whereof I speak. I lived in Keswick for 4 years. The Lake District is a poisoned picture perfect postcard.
