Lake District, England

It is little wonder that the Lake District has inspired painters, poets and writers - shimmering meadows ablaze with wildflowers, glistening deep blue lakes reflecting the surrounding hillside, moorlands dotted with free-roaming sheep and charming stone-built villages.

The absurdly scenic Lake District is a walker's and outdoor adventurer’s dream. Whether you wish to explore the rugged peaks on foot, get your adrenalin pumping on Honister’s via Ferrata, or canoe on the tranquil lakes, the Lake District has it covered.

The Lake District’s food scene has grown spectacularly over recent years. The combination of locally sourced produce and Michelin star restaurants have made eating out a truly outstanding experience.
