Lake District Reviews

The lake district is truly a unique place in the world. Sure there's places such as the Rockies, and it's true that mountains over there do indeed dwarf those of the Lake District. But when it comes to views, size doesn't necessarily matter. In the lake district, you can walk for half an hour and have a completely different view whereas in Canada ...

The lake district is one of my favourite locations, if you have never been you will be awestuck at its jawdropping beauty Nestled in the northwest of England in the county of Cumbria, the lake district is home the englands highes mountain and deepest lake (Scafell Pike and Wastwater respectively) Surrounded by some of the ...

The Lake District has some of the most beautiful and dramatic scenery in England. Below the craggy mountains are pretty towns and villages nestled in the valleys. The southern Lake District is quite gentle with some rolling hills but it gets more rugged to the north and west. Windermere is the first town reached when entering the Lake ...

Just a few places in the world have astonishing power. This is the power to have a hold in your mind when you are away from them, a hold that makes you feel that you are incomplete when you are not there. Some people may feel that they have to travel halfway around the world to find such magic, but for me it is the Lake District that does this ...

This is a picturesque, scenic & beautiful area of Brittan and if you go there you just won't want to come back. I used to live in the Lake District when I was a little girl and then I moved down south at the age of five, ever since I have always come back to the Lake District up to two times a year as I can seam to stay ...

I sometimes stay in cottages in the lake district and i always use cumbrian cottages to book the holiday cottage. Visit them at www.cumbrian-cottages.co.uk to see some of there great deals. Cumbrian cottages is an agency which sells and rents holiday cottages throughout the Lake District. As I have only used the rental side ...

LAKES As you would expect from the name "The Lake District" this is an area of outstanding natural beauty, where huge lakes nestle at the foot of mountains. The area is in Cumbria, formed from the former counties of Cumberland and Westmorland. Windermere is the largest lake in England, it is twelve miles long and ...

My first visit to the Lakes some eight years ago took me completely by surprise. I had not expected such breathtaking scenery, although I knew the area abounded in lakes. Indeed, the only thing that might be described as 'typical'was the weather, with its extreme changeability. My second visit made this July just gone, was far more ...

I went to the lake District for the first time over the weekend. A group of us decided to go on a four day hike across the Lake District. We left on thursday morning and arrived at 3:30 in the evening. We then had to find a place to leave the cars for the weekend. Once parked we walked about half an hour to where we were going to spend the first ...

I considered the wisdom of doing yet another travel so soon and yet I still felt one was missing, one which I need to write for a special reason. Throughout the years most of my UK holidays have been taken with my friend Ann whether or not we were in already in a relationship those yearly holidays were meant for us alone an affirmation of our long ...

Okay serious op time. Located in the North West of England and stretching as far as the Scottish borders, the Lake District has to be the most breathtaking of all England’s landscapes. Cumbrian people are noted for their warm hospitality and uncomplicated lifestyle, and despite having to put up with hoards of tourists and their ...

Back in the days BC (Before Children) I was a regular lake district visitor and like nothing better than a quick (Well by quick I really mean slow) trek up the highest mountains in England, Scafell being the highest peak and I am sorry without going to get the map I can not give you the height but my ...

Having just got back from spending Christmas in 'The Lakes', and having been there almost annually for the past 15 years, it struck me that now might be as good a time as any to give you my perspective. Let me point out straight away, that I am NOT a born hiker or a camper (mmm, ducky). To me, 'fell walking' is an ...

Firstly, let me apologise for the terrible title, but I just couldn't resist. I had never visited the Lake District until Easter weekend when we decided to go away for a weekend camping. I have to say that I have been missing out. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever had the pleasure of visiting and the scenery is just ...

The castle is situated 3-4 miles south of Kendal and is signposted from the A590. The Strickland family owned the property for over 700 years until it was donated to the National Trust in 1950. I thoroughly recommend you visit as the castle has an interesting structure, the contents are the originals and have not been disturbed and the gardens are ...

The lake district is always beautiful but perhaps autumn is one of the best times to visit one of Enlgland't treasures. The obvious advantage is the beauty of the changing trees which on a well lit day look irrestibly photogenic. Another plus point is the relatively few numbers of people you will see out and about whilst exploring. ...

After the excesses of Christmas where I usually spend time with the extended family, eating and drinking myself into a human pudding, I like to get away and chill over the New Year. There is nowhere better than the 'greatest lakes'. OK, so they are not as big as Michigans, but what Cumbria lacks in size, it more than compensates for in ...

My heart belongs to wild country. To this place, cooped up in the far north of england, not recognised by many as the beautiful scenic place it is. My mother was born in Cumbria, and lived in the Lake's... her sister owns or owned a farm there. My mothers parents are buried there, in some quiet and peaceful graveyard. It must run in ...

I wish I never had to leave, but always look forward to going back. If you ever have the chance to visit the Lake District, please, please don't let it pass you by. Whether you like serious walking, gentle walking or just sitting and watching the world go by, I can't think of a more beautiful place than the Lake ...

Today’s is a review of my trip around the Lake District this weekend. I will try and give you an idea about how foot and mouth is still effecting this area. I will point out that with just a small amount of care, it will be a normal holiday meaning foot and mouth should not prevent you enjoying this wonderful area. AIRA FORCE ...
