Holidays in the Lake District
Whether you’re looking for a walking holiday or a laidback adventure on the water, the Lake District National Park is the perfect destination to get lost in (metaphorically speaking, of course).
Lakes in the Lake District
Home to some of the largest and deepest lakes in the UK, the Lake District National Park invites you to make the most of its mirror-topped tarns. The inspiration for everyone’s favourite childhood adventure story Swallows and Amazons, Coniston Water is a fabulous holiday destination for those looking to enjoy life on the water. Hire canoes and kayaks for some family-friendly watersports or climb aboard the gorgeous Steam Yacht Gondola for a relaxed tour of the mountain-backed lake. The famous walk The Old Man of Coniston is also on your doorstep, inviting you to enjoy the lakeside views from a loftier angle. The largest lake in the Lake District (and England), Lake Windermere is a beloved holiday destination, whether you want to sip coffee on the shore or enjoy a beautiful circular walk, and boasts some excellent family-friendly attractions and museums.
Things to do in the Lake District
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Landscape, it goes without saying the Lake District National Park is the place to go for outstanding natural beauty, from glistening tarn to towering fell. With such untamed landscapes comes a myriad of things to do in the great outdoors. The forest-topped slopes of the mountains promise excellent mountain biking opportunities, while the lofty fells offer some of the best Dark Sky Sites in the UK, perfect for stargazing. You’ll also find some fascinating local attractions, including the oh-so-charming World of Beatrix Potter and the impressive Lowther Castle and Gardens.
Places to eat in the Lake District
Whether you fill your days with breathtaking walks or boat trips, a button-popping meal is always in order when visiting the Lakes. Home to a lip-smacking collection of pubs, restaurants, and cafés, it’s deliciously easy to refuel after a day of explorations. Boasting beautiful locations amidst wooded glades, the area’s Michelin star restaurants are an experience in themselves, with local ingredients combining to create mouthwatering tasting menus. For something a little more relaxed, stop by one of the many welcoming cafés for a hearty meal overlooking the picture-perfect views. Of course, it wouldn’t be a holiday in the Lake District without one of the area's famous foods, so make sure to tuck into a Cumbrian sausage, a melt-in-your-mouth piece of Grasmere gingerbread, and perhaps a Kendal Mint Cake or two while you’re here.
