Lake District

In keeping with the theme of dramatic scenery and stunning beauty, England’s Lake District has to be one of the most spectacular examples of what else the UK has to offer. With 16 lakes and 12 smaller ‘tarns’ the Lake District has no shortage of things to see and do.
Boat trips, water sports and the history of some of the most spectacular events in world history abound here, including the breaking of the world water speed record by Donald Campbell who tragically died here on Lake Coniston in 1967.
Lake Windermere, England’s largest natural lake, is the perfect spot to sit back and soak up the atmosphere of Cumbria’s rolling hills and lakeside life and the cross lake ferries and steamers give a hint of real old English charm.
The area has always been a site of celebrated beauty, indeed William Wordsworth gave tribute in his poem, ‘the daffodils’.
Cumbria has a lot more to it than just water though, and another of the UK’s largest stone circles is located near here. Set high amongst the Pennines, Castlerigg stone circle, at 30m in diameter is larger than Stonehenge itself and believed to date back as far as 3000BC! The setting is truly spectacular, our very own Macchu Picchu!
