Lakelands

by sandysmith - last update: Jan 15, 2005

I've not had many trips to the Lake District - surprising really because its only about 2hours drive away, or maybe because Snowdonia has had a greater pull on us.

A shame really as the Lake District has some stunning scenery and many attractions to explore. Also the few times I've been there we have been fairly fortunate with the weather...it can rain a lot here...that's why there are so many lakes.....lol

The picture shown here is of a popular walk to Rydal Water, near Grasmere in the lake District...one of the many "Wainwrights" to conquer. Check out this hike in the travelogue.

Hiking options

There are hikes on low trails and high fells - sonthing for all abilities, just come prepared with good footwear and waterproofs.

Dales and Drystone walls

Shown here is a typical lakeland dale view.

In A Nutshell:"English scenery at its best"

 These are beautifully composed photos, Sandy. Thanks for the advice and for the advance views of your recommended walk around the lake. --Kelli

 I am reading Alain de Botton's book at the moment so I needed a visit to the Lake District - at least a virtual one. Your page presents the area perfectly!

 What beautiful pictures Sandy! I'm looking forward to spending New years at the Lakes and hoping for some snow. Should make good pics...

 Hope to get back here one day, Sandy...with my new 11mm lens. Ooops, I guess I need the camera first. ;)
