What to do in the Lake District
Scafell Pike
Make your way up England’s highest mountain and when you reach the summit, look out to Scotland, Ireland, Wales and the Isle of Man. There are a number of different routes up and down so pick one to suit your ability.
Lake Windermere
Lake Windermere is the country’s biggest lake.The busy lakeside towns of Ambleside and Bowness-on-Windermere are hotbeds of outdoor activities and attractions such as boating and a steam railway. Perfect for families.
Dove Cottage
Dove Cottage, the home of William Wordsworth, England’s best loved poet has been turned into a lovely little museum. That its on the outskirts of the idyllic village of Grasmere makes it all the more appealing.
Wastwater
You’ll be hard pushed to find more incredible views than the ones on offer at Wastwater, England’s deepest lake.
