Lake District
What you need to know before you go
The Lake District in Cumbria is a stunning place of pristine lakes ringed by an undulating landscape of fells and valleys, tucked away in the far northwest of England. The picturesque mountainous expanse stretches for over almost 1,000 sq miles, with green rolling countryside in between. It’s a popular spot with ramblers, hikers, and lovers of the great outdoors.
The Lake District has had a defining impact on many artists and thinkers. It’s the place where poet William Wordsmith was inspired by golden daffodils dancing in the breeze. And it’s where Beatrix Potter conjured up an idyllic world of flower-laden gardens and quaint cottages for her Peter Rabbit books.
