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 Kendal area
The historic Lakeland town of Kendal has a fine reputation for shopping and is situated on the banks of the River Kent. Known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes, its old cobbled lanes and byways split off the attractive main street, whilst the stone ruins of 12th Century Kendal Castle dominates the town's skyline. The Abbot Hall Art Gallery is well worth visiting with a regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney in addition to works by both Turner and Ruskin. Other exhibitions take place throughout the year and are made possible by the gallery's links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall - with its superb Topiary Garden - are within easy driving distance, as are the unique limestone escarpments which offer stunning views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally located for those looking to explore the South Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.

Very nicely equipped flat. Very well-maintained, good location close enough to Kendal/other Lakes towns to go there easily but nice and quiet if you want total seclusion. Highly recommended. Verified by FlipKey, a TripAdvisor company |
