Where To Find Lake District Cottages
As the summer progresses it is difficult to recall all the wonderful areas in the United Kingdom that are worth visiting more than once. There are many many destinations that are ideal for the weekend or weekly visitor. After much discussion at the office we have decided that Lake District Cottages provide the greatest range of outdoor activities for the reasonably active family.
Why would I consider The Lake District as the place to visit after our considerations? It’s easy really: with the superb scenery, most of which can be walked or climbed it provides such a huge range of opportunities.
Here is an example of what I mean… By staying in pet friendly Lake District Cottages near Windermere or Kendal you will open up the whole of Lake District. It takes little more than an hour to cross from the eastern popular side of the lake district tot he quieter western side. By using the well positioned M6 motorway and the northern exits it is possible to visit every quarter of the Lake District in a day; albeit a long day!
What happens if you aren’t the fittest climber? Unlike many other areas of the UK the Lake District is so easy to access utilising cars, buses and of course boats that there really isn’t any excuse not to enjoy this beautiful area.
The Lake District National Park was, I think, the swecond national park to be enshrined in law in the UK. The national parks of the UK are all included in legislation that defends them from the unscrupulous developer or over enthusiastic business idea. The outcome of this strict regime is that the whole ethos of the National Park is maintained for future generations.
The water in the Lake District wouldn’t of course be so visited if it wasn’t for the tourist boats and the self drive boats that can be used on the lakes. Windermere, recently made quieter by the legislation governing the speed on the lake, is a starting point for many first introductions to water sports. It is still possible to learn to water ski, as a child (weight and low speed don’t work!). Also it’s possible to learn to sail or kayak with the numerous sailing and canooing schools around the Lake. Most of these sailing colleges put up their sailors in nearby Lake District Cottages.
If a simple but really enjoyable holiday is what is required to burn away those down feelings, then one needs to look no farther than a holiday in the North West. The Lake District has so much on offer that it can’t be ignored and really should be at the top of anyone’s list of possible holiday destinations.
