The Lake District, one of the most beautiful regions of the UK, is located in the heart of Cumbria, a predominantly rural county in the far north west of England. World famous for its beautiful lakes and mountainous fells, carved out long ago by glaciers, the Lake District today is a playground for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. The bustling small towns of Ambleside on Windermere and Keswick on Derwentwater are particularly popular with visitors. Famous Lake District writers who found their inspiration in this stunning setting include William Wordsworth, one of the Lakes Poets, and Beatrix Potter of Peter Rabbit fame. You can visit a number of properties where they lived and where they set their works, as well as numerous historic houses and gardens. The South Lakes include Windermere, Coniston Water and Grasmere. The North Lakes are just a very short distance further to drive. This area is centred on Keswick and its lake Derwentwater, and is very popular with outdoor activity enthusiasts.
