You don’t come here for sunshine and warm weather. To be honest, it rains often in the Lake District and temperatures are rarely high. But that doesn’t matter, because the scenery is absolutely breathtaking! The area is home to 15 large lakes, including England’s deepest (Wast Water) and longest lake (Windermere), as well as many smaller ones. You’ll also find England’s highest mountain here, Scafell Pike, which reaches 978 metres.
Camping in the Lake District
The Lake District is perfect for camping. Staying on a campsite is a great way to explore the countless walking trails and hiking routes that criss-cross the region. You have plenty of options, from basic camping pitches and small, rural sites to larger campsites. Some offer all the facilities you could wish for, including swimming pools, children’s entertainment or luxury pre-pitched tents (glamping). What kind of campsite in the Lake District will you choose?
Discover the Lake District
The main reason to visit the Lake District is, of course, the stunning natural beauty. The views of lakes, forests, and mountains are truly spectacular. The best way to experience it all is by setting out on a walk or, if you’re more experienced, a longer trek. There are plenty of routes mapped out across the area. The Cumbria Way, which stretches for over 100 kilometres, is the most famous, but you can always walk just a section if you’re short on time.
The National Park is also home to a thriving community and is the most populated National Park in England. The four main towns are Keswick, Windermere, Ambleside, and Bowness-on-Windermere. There are plenty of smaller villages both inside and outside the park, each offering a warm welcome. The Lake District has been a popular holiday destination since the late 18th century, and became especially beloved after poets like William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge celebrated it in their works.
