The Lake District

The Lake District has inspired poets and enchanted visitors to the area for centuries and that has helped validate its position as the UK’s most visited National Park. At the top of Skarfell in clear weather there are views over to Ireland and as far as Snowdonia in Wales. If making your way to the top of England’s highest peak doesn’t appeal to you then the beautiful lakes of Ullswater, Windermere and almost a hundred more bodies of water are sure to offer you plenty of opportunity for excitement or serenity. If you would like to experience some culture whilst in the area you could visit the Theatre by the Lake which runs a year round program of productions and has been called the most beautifully situated theatre in the country. Hill Top was Beatrix Potter’s home for 38 years and remains today much as it was when she lived there. Immerse yourself in the space and surroundings that helped inspire her to write the stories loved throughout.
