Difference is that France is much bigger than UK, with similar size population, so much less problems with density of population on the whole, with a different approach to EU regulations
I can see the NT approach in Windermere. Their job is to preserve the properties they own, and control of environmental damage is one of the things they have to consider.
That's why in Lake District, there are 'motorways' up Hellveyn and the like, as erosion due to so many walkers was damaging surrounding areas. If it had been left without any work, the damage would have been considerable. You have to face the fact that Lake District is popular. In many ways too popular, and too many people want to go there.
Other places have introduced similar measures. Many national parks try to encourage people not to drive in, and to use public transport etc. Many other countries have similar schemes. Even in places like Alaska, where when I went to one national park, you have to book months in advance, and the controls are strict. All to try and preserve the place so it continues to sustain the environent that makes it look so attractive now
