Lake and Peak District travel guide
If you're looking for weekend breaks in the UK that give you the chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and back to nature, a holiday in the Lake District may be just the thing for you.
As its name suggests, the region is home to a number of vast lakes, including Derwent Water, Bassenthwaite Lake and Windermere - the largest natural lake in England. This makes the Lake District ideal for a spot of sailing in the UK. If you prefer to stay on dry land, why not try tackling Scafell Pike? Standing at 978 metres, it is England's highest mountain.
If you're after a more relaxing holiday, why not take a walk through the woodlands to see if you can spot creatures such as red squirrels and ospreys, or visit Carlisle Castle?
The region is also home to a number of enthralling events such as the Ullswater Outdoor Festival, the Kendal Mountain Festival and the Windermere Air Show.
