Self-Catering Lake District Holidays
It's hard to do the Lake District justice, using nothing more than words. Seeing lush green hills roll out into the distance, miles further than the eye can see. Watching the sun bounce playfully across the crystal waters of Lake Windermere, as the smell of dew drops fills the air. Listening, as all around, an array of wonderful wildlife, from red squirrels to golden eagles, grey seals to red deer, wake to another beautiful morning and head about their day in the national park.
A holiday in the Lake District boasts more than just stunning natural scenery - this UNESCO World Heritage Site is also rich in culture and history, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a varied and interesting break. From picturesque villages steeped in literary history and home to the likes of William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, to bustling market towns with their museums and comedy clubs, there is plenty to explore on your Lake District holidays beyond its breathtaking natural landscapes, rolling hills and spectacular scenery.
