"The Lake District - scenery at its best" Lake District National Park by sabsi
Lake District National Park Travel Guide: 487 reviews and 1,306 photos
I spent two beautiful days in the Lake District with Steve and Susan in April 2003. We were lucky, these two days were the warmest April days for at least 1000 years.
I came back for two more days to celebrate New Years 2004/5 here. Unfortunately it was rainy or overcast most of the time but we were lucky to catch a nice day with beautiful views as you can see on the picture.
The Lake District consists of beautiful lakes, the highest hills (ok, mountains ;) of England, great places for walks and picnics, lovely little villages and thousands of sheep, pubs and outdoor shops to entertain the tourists.
- Pros:Beautiful scenery, lovely sheep, nice villages
- Cons:The sea would make it perfect!
- In a nutshell:Probably the most scenic area of England

I hope we see as much in 5 days as you saw in 2! That poor guy in the flagpole - how embarrassed will he be if he ever sees your tip!
Nice stuff, brings back memories
If you visit the western Lake District you will find miles of sandy beaches, fewer people and cheaper prices. You still have the mountains and lakes nearby. It's our favourite part of the Lakes.
Zufall oder nicht... ich hab gerade ganz viele Schafe auf vielen GB-Seiten gesehen! Wäre ein witziger Travelogue, die mal zu sammeln :-)
6 lakes seen now with Butermere to add ;-) Argh how i hate those pics ;-))
As always a great page Sabine! Looks like you had a great time here....I must visit it looks beautiful.
Nice sheep in the fields piccie:)))
every pub in england seems have good meals
Definitely on my list of places to see on my next UK trip! Great page...tiny bathroom! :)
I do so look forward to visit the Lake District (my ancestors came from there), and your wonderful photos and commentary have added to my desire to see "the old country."
