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 Coniston / Water Yeat area
Situated to the west of the famous Lake Windermere is the less well known Coniston Water, one of the most imposing and beautiful of the English Lakes. To the northern end is the pretty village of Coniston, surrounded by some of the most incredible scenery the Lake District National Park has to offer. This beautiful little town makes a superb base for touring Hawkshead, Ambleside and Windermere whilst superb walking, mountain biking and climbing are available locally on Coniston Old Man and Wetherlam. The Grizedale Forest offers pretty woodland trails and the quiet lake is perfect for sailing and canoeing. Alternatively, visitors can enjoy a leisure cruise on the beautiful steam yacht 'Gondola'. Also in the region is the Beatrix Potter Gallery at Hawkshead and Tarn Hows - one of the most visited beauty spots in the country.

,Amazing holiday! Being in the centre of the Lake District with amazing views as soon as you wake up. We were able to let the kids run around and play outside safe in the knowledge that your on your own private property and are as safe as can be. We will definitely return!

,The cottage was fabulous. We took my elderly parents with us, so the downstairs bedroom and bathroom were excellent. The setting of the cottage was second to none. The lake is a two minute walk from the door through the lovely garden and we spent lots of time sitting by the lake in the peace and quiet - perfect. There is so much wildlife to see from the veranda too; woodpeckers came every day, baby rabbits, squirrels and many more. This is definitely one to return to in the not too distant future, a wonderful holiday.
