The Cumbria/Lake District region
Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes – the Lake District landscape has inspired several literary greats, including William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Water, where you can cruise the lake on a steam-powered yacht soaking up the scenery in Victorian style, could be for you. Walking is one of the best ways of exploring the Lake District.
For the serious walker the mountains of Skiddaw, Scafell and Helvellyn provide enjoyable challenges, whilst at lower levels there are hundreds of routes wandering among the lakes and stone-walled fields. You can even choose a lake to suit your mood: if bustling lakeside towns and exhilarating watersports take your fancy, then Windermere and Coniston Water, where you can cruise the lake on a steam-powered yacht soaking up the scenery in Victorian style, could be for you. If it’s peace and tranquility you seek then the secluded lakes of Buttermere and Wastwater are not to be missed. Yet Cumbria offers much more than the lakes alone. Explore the National Nature Reserve on Walney Island or visit the picturesque Duddon Valley, where the heather clad moors peppered with birch trees inspired many of Wordsworth’s poems.
With its award-winning gardens and the Lakeland Motor Museum, Holker Hall is also a great day out, whilst in northern Cumbria the peaceful villages of Caldbeck and Ireby offer a haven of solitude and picturesque tranquility. To the east lies the green and sheltered Eden Valley. Its dramatic landscape provides a range of activities including walking, cycling and watersports and is home to the Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre and Lowther Wildlife Park, perfect for a family day out
The Appleby in Westmorland area
Set at the heart of the lush Eden Valley is one of the most elegant and beautiful towns in the north of England – the historic settlement of Appleby, originally the county town of Westmorland. At the heart of the town is the picturesque street of Boroughgate, which boasts some interesting old buildings and links the well-preserved Norman Castle with the fine medieval Church of St. Lawrence. As a major stop on the Settle to Carlisle Railway, Appleby is ideally placed for one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, still undertaken by steam trains which wend their way over the historic and awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. In June, visitors can experience the atmosphere of the 300 year old Horse Fair. Traditionally, this was an annual event where Gypsies gathered to sell their horses. Alternatively, the July Jazz Festival is fast becoming a popular attraction. The town is also within easy reach of the Lake District National Park, making it a wonderful spot for a family holiday.

Could not fault it : tea, coffee, milk, sugar and cake on our arrival was a real bonus. Every conceivable item was supplied, and the accommodation was very comfortable. Excellent. Verified by FlipKey, a TripAdvisor company |

,Very comfortable property in a great location, making everything an easy walk away. Our generous hosts had provided a welcome pack and built a fire in the fireplace ready for our arrival.
Mr Morris, Edinburgh, Midlothian

,Great location for both Lakes and Dales, cottage exceeded our expectations, although only 1 bed roomed, very well designed. Very clean, lovely garden, good value for money compared to Lake District properties. Welcome pack of tea, coffee and cake very welcome! Would definitely go back.
