Why do over 18 million people visit the Lake District every year?

Because sometimes, you need to trade deadlines for mountain trails and conference calls for lakeside calm.

Why the Lakes?

The Lake District isn't a destination - it's a reset button. England's largest National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's where dramatic fells meet glassy waters, and stone villages feel like they've existed forever (because they mostly have).

Whether you're here to hike Scafell Pike, sail on Windermere, or simply sit with a cream tea watching the world slow down, the Lakes adapt to your pace.

What can you do?

🥾 Hike 214 named fells (or stick to gentle valley walks)
⛵ Watersports on 16 major lakes
🏛️ Visit Beatrix Potter's Hill Top or Wordsworth's Dove Cottage
🍺 Explore cosy pubs, local breweries, and farm-to-table dining
🚴 Cycle the quiet lanes or tackle mountain bike trails
📚 Lose yourself in independent bookshops and galleries

When to visit?

Year-round. Spring brings lambs and bluebells. Summer offers long days and festivals. Autumn paints the fells gold and crimson. Winter? Crisp walks, roaring fires, and far fewer crowds.

Awards & Recognition

🏆 UK's favourite holiday destination (Which? Travel, 2023)
🏆 UNESCO World Heritage Site (2017)
🏆 England's only true mountain environment

The Lake District doesn't rush you. It reminds you what your own rhythm feels like.

Rainy days in the Lake District? Still plenty to enjoy ☔️✨

One of the best things about staying near the Lakes is that even when the weather turns, the days don’t have to slow down.

A few of our favourite rainy-day ideas nearby:

• Lakes Aquarium – perfect for all ages and ideal on wetter days
• The World of Beatrix Potter – cosy, nostalgic, and great with children
• Keswick Climbing Wall – burn off some energy indoors
• Historic homes & castles – think grand houses, quiet rooms, and lots of stories
• Boat cruises on the lakes – sheltered, scenic, and still magical in the rain

And when you’re done exploring, there’s nothing better than heading back to Woodland View, lighting the fire, and settling in for a cosy evening.

Because sometimes, rainy Lake District days are the best kind 🌧️🔥

Tucked away in a private close of just six houses in Unthank, near Skelton, our rural retreat offers the ultimate peace and privacy. With a large, fully fenced lawned garden, your four-legged family members can roam safely while you soak in the tranquil countryside views.

We don’t just ‘allow’ dogs; we welcome them. With space for two pooches, we’ve taken care of the details so you don’t have to pack the kitchen sink. You’ll find: 🐾 Bowls & mats 🐾 Cosy blankets for post-walk naps 🐾 A warm welcome for the whole pack

Step out of the front door and onto incredible walking trails, or take a short, scenic drive to Ullswater and Pooley Bridge. Explore the lakeshore before heading to one of the many dog-friendly cafes, bars, and restaurants nearby. 🥾🍷

After a day of Cumbrian exploring, there’s nothing quite like watching your pooches curl up by the roaring log fire 🪵🔥

Ready for an escape where everyone (including the dog!) can truly relax?

Want to make your annual leave go further in 2026? 🙌

The secret is travelling smarter - not longer.

By planning breaks around April, May, August and Christmas, you can enjoy extended time off while using fewer leave days.

No matter the season, the Lake District is a great choice:

• April: spring blooms, peaceful walking routes
• May: ideal weather for hiking, cycling and sightseeing
• August: lakeside days, outdoor adventures, family time
• Christmas: winter scenery, cosy evenings, festive escapes.

One destination. Four very different experiences.

January is one of the Lake District and Cumbria’s best-kept secrets. Crisp, clear skies, peaceful trails, misty mornings over lakes, and snowy peaks make this the perfect time to explore. Fewer crowds mean you can truly soak in the scenery, enjoy winter hikes, or cosy up by a fire after a day outdoors. ❄️🌲
