Take a trip to the Lake District

Home to England’s largest National Park and England’s largest lake – Windermere, the Lake District boasts some of the most breath-taking scenery in the country. With more than 3,500 kilometres of rights of way and 12 of the largest lakes in the country, you can walk, cycle and splash about in the water to your heart’s desire. Take in the scenery and perhaps take part in one of the 500 events that take place over the year, from guided walks to mountain bike rides, many of which are free. There is also a great deal going on in and around the National Park. The Lake District and Cumbria is the country’s biggest adventure playground and is the perfect place to get active. If you fancy a challenge, take the time to conquer the UK’s highest mountain in Scafell Pike or climb the remaining four highest mountains in the country. Whether you are a seasoned adventurer or wanting to give new things a try with a qualified guide, there is something to suit everyone. Try your hand at rowing, sailing, watersports, climbing, carting, horse riding and quad biking – see the list is endless! If you have a family, a trip to the Lakes is a superb way to introduce the little ones to the nature all around you and the simple pleasures it has to offer. There are plenty of nature trails to choose from where you identify plants and insects (great for combining learning and fun for the kids!), or visit a birdwatching sight. To get the most out of your trip consider renting a self-catering cottage, but before you book make sure you take into consideration all the activities you want to fit in and choose your location wisely. You’ll find a great range of this kind of accommodation online from specialists such as Easy Cottages If intense sports aren’t your bag you can always enjoy a saunter through the peaks and troughs of the region armed with a picnic, or enjoy a game of golf at Beckside and Windermere golf clubs.
