Advantages: Amazing views, great atmosphere!

Disadvantages: Gets very crowded in the summer

If your into the great outdoors, this is the place for you!

The Lake District is a giant playground for walkers, climbers and many others young and old. There are several Lakes as you may have guessed, probably the most well known is Windermere, a great place for water sports and there is a lovely little town there as well.

If your into walking/climbing there are loads of fantastic mountains to suit all standards of walker. Some of the best are: Helvellyn, Blencathra and the highest peak in England, Scafell Pike.

If your not quite so adventurous there are several qaint little towns and villages. Ambleside is delightful, Keswich is great for outdoor shops and pubs.

If you go up midweek or off season you can really enjoy a day in the mountains in peace. However in the summer or on back holidays the area can get very crowded as looses its appeal.

Overall would say there is something for everyone here, amazing views wherever you look! Get your self there as soon as possible!

Summary: Wonderful destination for a holiday or just a day out.
