Lake District
A slice of paradise in the North Western corner of England, the Lake District has long been a favourite of staycationers and international tourists alike. From the rolling hills and (admittedly small, on a global scale) mountains, to the lakes, tarns, and meres that make this area so unique, there is plenty of natural beauty to get inspired by. After all, if it’s good enough for Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth, it’s good enough for us!
The Lake District isn’t just great for long hikes and stunning views: there’s plenty more active pursuits available, especially on the sixteen main bodies of water that make up the titular lakes, and on the dozens of smaller tarns and meres that dot the rest of the area. All types of water sports are available to try here, but for the aquaphobic or those who want a change there are also biking trails to speed down, as well as other outdoor pursuits like bouldering and rock climbing. And that’s before we get onto the hundreds of great little country pubs that seem to pop up when you’re desperate for a pint after a long day of trekking.
