North West England
in England

The mountainous Lake District, found in the north-west of England, has long drawn crowds of eager fell walkers, climbers, and hikers keen to tackle some of the region’s most challenging yet remarkable mountains and ridges. Rocky crags jut out from green, bracken-covered hills; swimmable cold-water ponds sit among vast lakes and waterfalls, while clusters of slate-roofed villages can be found tucked into the various valleys. Beyond the exploring, there’s a host of countryside inns, restaurants, bottle shops, and locally beloved pubs, ready for when you take off your boots and need to rest your well-walked legs.
