The Lake District National Park

The outstanding beauty of this National Park is often remembered by the Slate Green colour of the local stone from which all the houses and farms with the dry stone walls divide the grassing area for the sheep up into the mountains.  

The Park has no main access highways which run through it, being serviced by the M6 Motorway from which there are to main entry routes. The first as you come north on the M6 is through Kendall to Windermere and further north via Penrith to Ullswater or Keswick on the A66 Highway. 

    The lakes are a playground for Outdoor & Mountaineering pursuits to which there is a Commercial atmosphere, but that's where it stops. There are no MacDonald's, KFC's or Major Hotel chains on every corner, what there is though are a mass of people happily enjoying the themselves and the surrounding countryside.  

Some state that the problems with the Lakes is the rain and it does appear to rain a lot, but that only enhances beauty of the Green Lakeland Stone all year round. The only thing to change during the four seasons is the temperature and the bracken on the hillsides, green in the summer, scorched in the fall, unseen under the snow and a rich red / brown in the spring prior to the new foliage arriving.

We hope you will bookmark us to Watch This Space grow.
