Rugged fells, ribbon lakes, scenic drives, and stargazing.
"A lush, popular national park of green meadows, forests and hills where ancient stone walls stitch the landscape into a patchwork and numerous mountain lakes sit tucked between fells. The area delivers varied walking underfoot—paths range from dirt tracks to stone stairways—and panoramic vistas that explain its enduring appeal as a favorite domestic getaway." - Mike Nolan
"Three and a half hours by train from London, the Lake District National Park is known for some of England's most beautiful walking and cycling routes; in summer the air is warm with honeysuckle and the vales are flushed with green, it has one of the country's lowest levels of light pollution making it perfect for stargazing, and sudden showers are the norm (about 200 wet days a year)." - Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh is a London-based travel journalist and author whose work has appeared in publications like Time and Vanity Fair.

"A region of otherworldly beauty defined by windswept mountaintops, dramatic valleys threaded with idyllic country lanes, sparkling waterfalls and deep, clear lakes; the overall atmosphere is a mix of rugged grandeur and pastoral charm that invites exploration across a variety of scenic routes and viewpoints." - Joy Fang
