The delights of a self catering holiday in the Lake District

The scenery is the main reason to go to the Lake District for a holiday. Walkers and hikers also head for the highest hills in England which are in Cumbria. Scafell Pike is a challenge for many. Walking at a slow pace allows people to take in the scenery around them and to stop and admire the waterfalls and fells.

The Lake District is one of those holiday destinations in England where tourists gather in Cumbrian town centres and around the lakes creating a thriving buzz. Various tourist related services have sprung up over the years to entertain tourists one way or another. There are boat trips, fishing expeditions, watersports, miniature railways, guided tours, spa breaks and a million and one things for tourists to do. Rent accommodation at a popular place such as Ambleside or Grasmere at the north end of Windermere if you like places with a 'touristy' atmosphere.

Tea shops and pubs in the Lake District rely on the custom of walkers to survive the year. If you visit the Lake District with your group of twelve, you can rest assured that there will be no chance of boredom.

There are truly remote locations where holidaymakers can rent a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere for a peaceful escape. If you're contemplating where to take your walking group or club on holiday next year, do take a look at staying in holiday cottages in the Lake District.
