Why go
England's best walking country, compact and well served by paths.
The Lakes offer a dense network of fell walks at every difficulty within a small area. Weather changes fast and the paths get busy in summer.
Signature experiences
- Scafell Pike or Helvellyn ascent
- Lake Windermere cruise
- Wordsworth's Dove Cottage
