From Grasmere to Cartmel: The Best Places to Live in the Lake District

Discover the best places to live in the Lake District, from Grasmere to Cartmel, offering stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant communities.

The Lake District – England's largest national park – is a joy to behold.

It’s a vast area spanning more than 900 square miles, but with less than 50,000 people living here, there is a glorious amount of room to roam around in: its population density is incredibly favourable when compared to cheek-by-jowl London. Regardless of the statistics and the space, the Lake District delivers on what really matters: in the best places to live, people feel they are part of a thriving community and get that sense of belonging that is integral to a contented lifestyle.&nbsp;

The Price of Rebellion: Basquiat’s Most Expensive Paintings

Discover the most expensive Basquiat paintings, exploring the iconic works, cultural significance, and record-breaking auction sales of this art legend.

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s short life was, by and large, a frenetic storm of chaotic struggle and majestic creativity. Since his sad death in 1988 - aged just 27 - the reputation, stature, and legacy of this maverick American ‘street’ artist has grown and grown, gathering immense power and strength. Where the art markets are concerned, Basquiat is now an unstoppable hurricane: a genuine icon. As one the most highly valued artists in the world, much of his instantly distinctive work - most of it completed in a dizzying three-year spell between 1981 and 1984 - regularly sells at auction for tens of millions of dollars. It’s unlikely Basquiat could have envisioned phenomenal commercial success - but that’s not to say he lacked ambition, despite his rather humble beginnings. Born in Brooklyn, New York, to a Haitian father and a Puerto Rican mother, money was tight and life was hard. Nonetheless, Basquiat was a precocious child with real artistic talent emerging early on. His mother nurtured these traits, giving him a copy of Gray's Anatomy at the age of seven&nbsp; while he spent months recovering from a car accident – an experience that later proved to be a profound visual influence.&nbsp;
