Lake District zip wire scheme backed by historians

A controversial zip wire scheme in the Lake District has been backed by historians, who argue that it could attract tourists and boost the local economy.

The scheme, proposed by adventure company Go Ape, would see a zip wire installed in the heart of the Lake District, allowing visitors to soar over the stunning landscape.

Historians have argued that while the zip wire may initially face opposition from environmental groups, it could ultimately bring more people to the area and help preserve its heritage in the long run.

Supporters of the scheme believe that it could provide a unique way for visitors to experience the beauty of the Lake District and create new opportunities for local businesses.

While the debate over the zip wire continues, it remains to be seen whether the scheme will be given the green light to go ahead.
