The Lake District is England’s largest national park and a popular place to visit all year round. Boasting some of the most majestic scenery in the UK, it’s easy to see why it once inspired famous literary figures including William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.

Nowadays, it is a haven for everyone from fell walkers to those who love meandering through quaint villages soaking up the Lakes atmosphere. Whether you’re enjoying the waters of Lake Windermere or hiking up Scafell Pike you’ll never be far from an adventure or beautiful views to admire.

The Best Things to Do in the Lake District

The Lake District National Park is the setting for everything from relaxing and gentle activities to family fun to full on adventures. To help inspire you and find something to suit the tastes of you and your fellow travellers, we have put together a blog about some of the best things to do on your next self-catering Lake District break.

Naturally, exploration of the lakes themselves should be high on the list, whether you want to kayak, take a scenic boat trip or admire the views from a lakeside restaurant. Walking through the fells to work up an appetite always makes that pub lunch even more rewarding and there are numerous trails that incorporate stunning scenery.

To admire another of nature’s marvels head to Aira Force Waterfall, which is considered to be one of the finest in the region. Or for a little bit of culture and history visit Castlerigg Stone Circle or the impressive Muncaster Castle.
