Alston & North
Pennines
The North Pennines is a landscape of high, wild moorland, cut through by green,
settled dales and impressive natural features. This is the perfect country
for walking, cycling, horse-riding and bird watching. Nestled among the majestic
North Pennine fells is Alston, England’s highest market town, where old
stone buildings cling to the side of the steep cobbled streets and narrow lanes
lead to hidden passageways.
Keswick & Western
Lakes
Keswick nestles on the shores of Derwentwater with the dominating backdrop
of Skiddaw and Blencathra and offers a wealth of outdoor activities and a
busy programme of events and festivals. Just a short journey away is the
wonderfully contrasting landscape of the western lakes – an incredible
area of untamed and untouched beauty. As you approach the Cumbrian coastline,
you will discover charming seaside ports and market towns and when you get
there will be rewarded with long sandy beaches, towering cliffs and beautiful
sunsets.
Coniston & Lakes
Peninsulas
Coniston Water on a still day mirrors the beautiful Lakeland fells that surround
it and has a shoreline made for picnics. With the sparkling seas stretching
out into the horizon, gentle, rolling countryside inland, a fascinating maritime
history and rich religious heritage, the nearby Lake District Peninsulas
offer a rewarding combination of countryside, coast and culture with charming
villages and seaside resorts.
Kendal & South
Lakes
From the lively market town of Kendal offering an eclectic mix of arts and
culture, quaint cobbled streets and yards and an enjoyable shopping experience
to the majestic fells and sparkling lakes which form the very essence of
the famous South Lakeland landscape – this is a spectacular area of
the county. Add to this a cluster of bustling Lakeland towns and villages,
peaceful valleys and traditional squares and courtyards and you have the
perfect holiday destination.
Sedbergh & Yorkshire
Dales
With meadows rich with flowers and dry stonewalls climbing up the rounded domes
of the Howgill Fells, this area has a character all of its own. From the
attractive old market town of Sedbergh with its engaging mix of historic
buildings and cobbled yards to the whitewashed cottages of the idyllic
hill farming village of Dent. Ivy clad Georgian buildings and quaint cottages
line the narrow alleys and courtyards of Kirkby Lonsdale tucked away in
the beautiful valley of the River Lune.
