Lake District & Cumbria
The Lake District National Park is one of the most stunningly beautiful - and so heavingly popular - regions in Britain. Great stretches of water such as Windermere and Coniston punctuate a landscape of rolling green dales and majestic craggy mountains. They have been the inspiration for literary creations from Wordsworth to Swallows and Amazons and Beatrix Potter. There is superb hiking everywhere; Ulverston is a traditional lake town and the starting point for the Cumbrian Way. Keswick and Kendle are also attractive but more touristy towns.
