The Lake District is without doubt one of the most beautiful locations in the entire country when it comes to holidaying. There are some of the most glorious walks in the whole country and there is ample opportunity to explore terrain that you just don’t come across in the rest of the country. You will find more than Lakes to entertain you too – with some of the largest hills in Britain there are some truly challenging walks to be had in this region.

Of course, it is a wonderful to get out on to the lakes when you are in the region, and there are more lakes than you could possibly visit during your time in the area. The Lake District is home the lake District National Park, which is the largest national park in England. If you opt to stay in the Lake District, you will also have the opportunity to visit Scarfeld Pike, known to be the largest mountain in the whole of England, indeed all of England’s land which lies 3000 feet above sea level can be found in the Lake District.

This is certainly the sort of place for active, outdoor families to visit, but that doesn’t mean that you have to rough it when it comes to accommodation. There are hundreds of Lake District Cottages available to rent, all providing excellent accommodation, no matter what part of the Lake District you decide to spend your holiday in.
