Central Lake District
The Lake District, England’s only true mountain area, derives its name from the spectacular natural lakes, or ‘meres’, which lie in green, glacially-sculpted valleys, surrounded by craggy peaks. This unique landscape, which has been nominated as one of National Geographic’s top ten ‘must-see’ destinations in the world, has an excellent network of well-maintained trails, which criss-cross the hillsides, give access to the mountain tops, and follow the shoreline of the lakes.
Your walks will pass through the wonderful scenery of the valleys and lakeshores of the central Lake District, visiting Rydal, Langdale, the surging waterfall at Skelwith Bridge, and lonely Easedale Tarn. Memories of the breathtaking panorama from Loughrigg Terrace, and the superb view of Skiddaw from Ashness Bridge will never be forgotten.
You will stay at the Grasmere Red Lion Hotel which stands in the centre of the picturesque mountain village of Grasmere, close to the church where William Wordsworth, the Lakeland poet, lies buried. The Red Lion offers a warm welcome, excellent accommodation and superb food. All bedrooms have ensuite facilities (private bathroom) and the hotel has a heated indoor swimming pool.
