Great Britan Top 10 Must Do & See (6)

6. Hiking in Lake District

























This mountainous region in the far North West of England is a popular tourist destination due to its beautiful scenery and it’s designated status as a national park. The whole area is spotted with bodies of water, though Bassenthwaite Lake is the only one with the word “lake” in its name. Most of the others are simply referred to as “waters”. This area is home to Wastwater, England’s deepest lake as well as Scafell Pike, England’s tallest mountain.

The landscape of mountains and lakes is not the only reason to visit; the Lake District is home to rare wildlife and has plenty of activities on offer.

The Lake District National Park is one of Cumbria’s biggest draws. Within the park you can go on hikes of varying levels.

The Lake District National Park is a antique establishment and accommodation in Windermere is quite unique. Throughout the Lake District you will discover charming old cottages for rent. The Ambleside cottages and Windermere district are a favourite of many tourists due to their proximity to several attractions. You can rent an all-inclusive, traditional cottage for 300-600GBP per week. You can also visit the most photographed building in the district, the Little House on the Bridge.



 The Lake District is perfect for adventurous types as it has lots of water sports, biking, climbing and hiking.
