The Best Places to Visit in the Lake District

Whether you are looking for a romantic cottage for two, a family-friendly home or a dog-friendly place to stay, there is fantastic scenery, bustling towns and charming villages to discover.

From Lake Windermere, the largest lake in England, with its lakeside towns that offer plenty of attractions and activities such as water sports, to quieter beauty spots such as the village of Coniston, there is somewhere to suit your mood and interests.

If it’s adventure you are in pursuit of, there are plenty of places of interest to get the adrenalin pumping including Wastwater which is great for climbers with Scafell Pike being close by. Meanwhile, more sedate activities include strolls through the fells, sampling the famous gingerbread in the pretty village of Grasmere and pootling along on an old steamer boat on Ullswater.
