Where is the Lake District?

The Lake District is a popular holiday destination located in Cumbria in North West England. The entire area resides in the Lake District National Park, a 2,362 square kilometre region with arguably some of the most scenic landscapes in the entire United Kingdom. In 2017, the Lake District National Park became a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, famed for its
mountainous fells and sparkling bodies of water. One step inside the park, and you'll see why it's won the heart of everyone who has ever visited. 

Located just one and a half hours from Manchester, the Lake District is an easy getaway for people in the UK. Trains from Manchester arrive at either Windermere or Penrith, two of the main gateway points to the park. If you're coming from London, you can also visit the Lake
District by train.

The entire journey takes three hours and requires one transfer partway. However, the best and easiest way to explore the park is in a car. For weekend breaks in the Lake District, a car allows you to see multiple lakes, villages, and mountains in just a short amount of time.

What does the Lake District have to offer?

The spectacular setting and diverse natural landscapes attract tourists not just from the UK, but from all over the world. Most visitors choose to base themselves and book Lake District hotel deals in Windermere, which is considered the main entry point to the park. This area is home to the largest lake in England, Lake Windermere, which winds 18km through the southern part of the park.

Other beautiful lakes in the Lake District include Wastwater, Lake Buttermere and Ullswater. Here, you'll find plenty of Lake District bed and breakfasts and even a few hotels in the Lake District with spas.

Culturally, the Lake District also has a few very significant sights to check out. In the village of Hawkshead, you can visit the 17-century home of Beatrix Potter, famed writer of the children's book series, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. You can also see where English poet William Wordsworth wrote his most famous works in his country home in Dove Cottage.

In addition, you'll have a wealth of other attractions to visit, including the Museum of Lakeland Life and Industry, Muncaster Castle, and the Lakes Distillery. So even if you aren't an outdoor lover, you'll still have plenty of activities to participate in during your visit.

What kind of activities are there for my Lake District Staycation UK?

For Lake District hotel breaks, you'll have a world of adventure waiting for you. It's an outdoor enthusiast's dream, with a plethora of activities on water and land. With more than 16 different lakes in the park, some of the best activities for your Lake District Staycation will be out in the open waters. Canoe along the tree-line banks to the secluded island in the centre of Grasmere Lake (William Wordsworth's secret hideaway).

Or enjoy the mountainous views while you kayak and admire the beautiful surroundings of Lake Buttermere.

There are multiple tour companies scattered throughout the park where you can hire or rent equipment for the day.

If you prefer something less strenuous, you can take a scenic steamboat tour of Ullswater orindulge in a gourmet buffet cruise on Lake Windemere. If you'd rather spend your Lake District staycation UK on land, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the number of walking trails in the area. The leisurely Buttermere circuit boasts sweeping views of mountains from all sides, while the trek up to the peak of Catbells gives you a birds-eye-view over the sprawling landscape.

Adventurous hikers can trek up to Scafell Pike, the highest peak in England. It's not too strenuous of a hike and can be completed by most people on their Lake District weekend break.

Extreme sports junkies will love the variety of exhilarating sport options for their short break in
the Lake District. Go rock climbing along the jagged crags in Gimmer or Dow, or enjoy the dramatic views from atop your very own flying gyroplane.

Although not for the faint of heart, the Infinity Bridge Walk at Honister Slate Mine is a breathtaking 600-meter walk across the gorge at Honister Pass. With nothing but a wire bridgeand cables keeping you from falling, it's one of the most heart-racing activities in the Lake
District.

Are there family-friendly activities for my Staycation in the Lake District?

The Lake District is a popular destination for families, and there are plenty of activities that cater to young children as well as teenagers. Besides spending the day on the mountain or lake, there are specific family-friendly activities guaranteed to entertain even the fussiest of children.

One of the best activities for families is taking a ride on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Railway. This 40-minute ride takes you around the striking Eskdale valley and Scafell mountain rage for one of the best views of the Lake District.

Spend the day at Tree Top Trek, an obstacle rope course full of balance bars, bridges, and ziplines. Older children can complete the full three-hour trek, while younger explorers can play in the giant, bouncy trampoline room.

Or head to Wray Castle, located in Ambleside near Lake Windermere. Dress up as a King or Queen, try your hand at building your own castle, or play in the secret treehouse in the Peter Rabbit Adventure section.

Animal lovers will enjoy an afternoon at the Lake District Wildlife Park, which is home to more than 100 species of exotic animals, including lemurs, tapirs, yaks, serval cats and many more. The Lake District Aquarium is also a great place to visit with kids, especially when it rains!
