| Self-catering country cottages in
Cumbria - the Lake District
Cumbria and the Lake District a , Mecca
for walkers with acres of unspoilt hills and lakes in the north
west of England.
The
Langdale Valleys of Great and Little Langdale, lie to the west
of Ambleside, in the heart of the National Park. Visitors
have walked its green hillsides and climbed the Langdale Pikes of
Harrison Stickle and Pike of Stickle for countless decades, and
keep returning to do it all again. The scenery is dramatic
with sharp crags and sparkling waterfalls. Scafell Pike -
the highest peak in England provides constant challenges for climbers
through the years.
There
are too many walks for people of all abilities to mention but there
is plenty of variety for everyone. You can also wander through to
explore other nearby valleys such as Grasmere, Borrowdale, Eskdale
and Wasdale.
And
after walking, you can enjoy an evening with a drink or a meal at
one of the local pubs and discuss the day's events with the locals
or fellow travellers, and dwell on the peaceful and beautiful countryside
surrounding you.
