The Lake District National Park makes up a great part of Cumbria and represents some of the most beautiful scenery in the whole of Great Britain, and with a plethora of excellent holiday parks in the region, plus many excellent hotels in some of the areas outstanding towns, it is little surprise that Cumbria is high on any list of holiday destinations.
Cumbria is an area that is rife in history and has featured heavily in the lore of literature, and one of the most famous sons is William Wordsworth, the respected poet who wrote of daffodils and more from his home – Dove Cottage – in the beautiful village of Grasmere, and for many of his devotees and others, too, the house, now a museum dedicated to his life, is a major draw.
To others it is the romance of the lakes themselves, and the opportunity for boating and simply walking by the waters, that makes Cumbria and the Lake District what it is, and on can see why with little prompting. The beautiful shimmering waters of Windermere are irresistible to many and the historic Coniston Water, famed for the speed record runs and immortalised in the famous footage of Donald Campbell and Bluebird’s final moments, sees many lovers of speed and water visit each year.
There are many lakes in the area, thanks to the rolling landscape that typifies the county, and a host of beautiful old towns to visit, too. Kendal, home of the famous mint cake that is the choice of walkers worldwide, is a beautiful town that boasts many examples of fine architecture, some excellent museums and a smattering of fine bars, traditional pubs, clubs and restaurants, while Keswick – to the north – nestles in the stunning location on the banks of Derwentwater and is one of the most picturesque towns in the whole of England and, it has to be said, a walkers favourite thanks to its excellent access to some very exciting routes.
Often overlooked is the Cumbrian coastline, itself a vista of great beauty and stunning scenery, where there are several excellent beaches that are almost secrets to those visiting the lakes; St Bees and Whitehaven offer glorious stretches of sand and to the north the Solway Firth, an estuary that divides England from Scotland, is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that simply has to be seen to be appreciated.
Carlisle is a city that has great significance, too, it being a site of many battles and scuffles between the English and the Scots, and is a town that has much to offer in terms of both historical interest and leisure pursuits. The streets of the old town are very beautiful and unspoilt, and the many traditional pubs offer excellent ales and homemade food, while the nightlife is very vibrant indeed for a small town such as this.
Overall, Cumbria has much to offer whether you are looking for a quiet holiday or an adventure, or whether you are a family or simply a couple looking for a romantic break, and with such breadth of choice there is something for everyone here.
