The Lake District - the Peaceful Holiday Destination

But you can make your break even more tranquil and therapeutic by choosing the right type of holiday accommodation. Cottage holidays in the Lake District will provide you with the most peace of all, because you will have no one else around. And these rental properties give you a real sense of freedom as well.

If you are renting Lake District cottages, then you can get up at whatever time you like. And when you decide to have your dinner will be entirely down to you. This is all much more appealing than having to shape your days around set breakfasts and evening meals! Besides, who wants to have limits in place when they are spending some time away from home?

Here are a few interesting facts about some of Cumbria's lakes –

Windermere

Not only is Windermere the ‘daddy' of the waters in the Lake District, it is also the largest natural mere in the whole of England.

And measuring in at a staggering 12 miles long, one mile wide and 220 feet deep it is not difficult to see why this is!
The Kendal and Windermere railway built a line to this lake in 1847 and it has been an incredibly popular destination for tourists ever since. Lake Windermere may be an immense body of water, but it is wholly situated within the boundaries of the Lake District National Park.

Ullswater

This is the second largest of the waters in the Lake District. Ullswater Lake is approximately 9 miles long and three-quarters of a mile wide. Its deepest portion is a little over 197 feet.
Ullswater is considered by many visitors to be the most beautiful lake of all in this region. A lot of people have compared it to Switzerland's Lake Lucerne.

A large part of Ullswater actually forms the dividing line between the two ancient counties of Cumberland and Westmorland. Because of the surrounding mountains, it has the overall shape of an elongated ‘Z'.

Coniston Water

At five miles long, half a mile wide and 184 feet deep, this is the third largest of the waters in Cumbria's ‘Lakeland'. In total, this lake covers an impressive area of around 1.89 square miles.
Coniston Water has seen many attempts to break the world water speed record over the year. It is here that the ill-fated Bluebird K7 achieved a top speed of 320 miles per hour in 1966 before crashing and killing its driver, Donald Campbell.

Derwentwater

Derwentwater is so named because it is both fed and drained by the river Derwent.

The lake has a length of three miles, a width of one mile and it is around 72 feet deep.

There are a number of islands within Derwentwater and one of these is inhabited. It is home to (appropriately enough!) ‘Derwent Island House', a tenanted National Trust property.

Ullswater Holiday (Lake District-June 2010)






Lucy and I decided to head to the Lake District for a few days in June for a little break. We ended up camping at Park Foot campsite at the north end of Ullswater lake in North West England. We got lost in the stunning scenery and beautiful sunshine as we walked around much of the lake. I don't think I've ever been so relaxed on any holiday ever. One i'll remember fondly for a good long time. I would highly recommend a visit to this place, every memory is like a picture postcard. Nick :)

Like many areas of the UK which have traditionally relied on farming as one of the main industries, the Lake District is blessed with great food products.

South Lakeland Parks operate three self catering holiday parks in the Lake District, White Cross Bay, Fallbarrow and Limefitt, each with on-site eateries and shops and are not too far away from local shops and restaurants.

There is also a fast food takeaway with a full range of meals to cater for your every need as you unwind as the day draws to an end. There is also a shop within the park grounds where you'll be able to pick up the essentials.

At Fallbarrow you'll find The Boathouse restaurant as well as a takeaway, not to mention an ultra stylish licensed Café and Deli serving locally produced items along with a fully stocked shop selling fresh local produce.


Limefitt offers a cosy Lakeland pub, The Haybarn that offers a superb range of meals and a selection of Cumberland ales served for your enjoyment.

There is also a small shop at Limefitt that stocks everyday essentials.

Both White Cross Bay and Fallbarrow are close to Bowness where you'll find a range of restaurants, cafés and shops so however long you're staying for, you'll have plenty of choice. Limefitt is near to Ambleside where again you'll find a wide range of restaurants, cafés and shops.
