Question

This natural region monopolized Early Modern pencil production after some 16th century shepherds stumbled on the world’s first major graphite deposit. This region is the birthplace of an orienteering-like sport in which mountain runners must navigate for themselves while traversing unmarked land. A common completionist goal for visitors to this region is to bag all 214 peaks listed (-5[1])in a classic “pictorial guide” by Alfred Wainwright. (-5[1])An earlier Guide to [this region] (-5[1])includes a verse description of a difficult climb through (*) Kirkstone Pass. (10[1])By making alterations to its garden, a drug-addicted tenant upset the owners of this region’s Dove Cottage. (10[1]-5[1])This (10[1])region contains the highest examples of barren hilltops known as “fells,” such as Scafell (10[1])Pike. For 10 points, the Pantisocracy was a utopian scheme hatched by writers associated with what region, (10[1])including Southey and Coleridge? (10[1])■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: Lake District [prompt on Cumbria, Westmoreland, North West England, or Great Britain] (The sport is fell running. Thomas De Quincey rented Dove Cottage from the Wordsworths. William Wordsworth wrote A Guide to the Lakes.)
