The Lake District
One of the most naturally beautiful regions in England, the Lake District is ideal for anyone who loves hiking, climbing or simply sitting with a cup of tea and soaking up the view. These lakes and hills were carved over millions of years by glacial erosion, creating a dramatic landscape that is a delight to explore.
When you tire of hiking along the huge network of footpaths, you can head to the town of Windermere (located on the shores of the lake of the same name). It has a range of charming little shops, cafes and pubs where you can rest your weary feet.
