1. Grasmere Gingerbread

Grasmere Gingerbread The sensation that the first bite of a Grasmere gingerbread brings to your taste buds is is just one of the reasons to visit the Lake District. This one of a kind gingerbread is made fresh every day using a secret recipe founded by Victorian cook Sarah Nelson in 1854. After one slice you will struggle not to come back and relive the exceptional flavours that this Cumbrian delicacy provides. Is it just me who has begun to salivate?

2. Hadrian’s Wall

Hadrian’s Wall This epic and historic monument was rightly made a World Heritage Site in 1987. Hadrian’s Wall is an architectural masterpiece which stretches a remarkable seventy-three miles in length. To add icing to this extremely sweet cake, the wall is surrounded on all sides by mesmeric countryside.

3. Lake Windermere

Lake Windermere Lake Windermere is truly breathtaking. Windermere is the largest natural lake in England, therefore providing the perfect opportunity for a cruise on the water. For those a little more adventurous there are the options of canoeing, kayaking and sailing. Just remember to try and stay in your boat as the water is generally on the chilly side.

4. Walking Opportunities

Walking Opportunities The Lake District is a hiking heaven with trails to suit those looking for a gentle stroll, as well as steep mountains for those of you searching for a more difficult assignment. Make sure your allow yourself time for a picture as the photographic opportunities are endless. Grab your boots. After all, they were made for walking.

5. The Surroundings Are Inspirational

The Surroundings Are Inspirational A word followed by another word is power. This part of the world has roused some of England’s finest writers with its picturesque scenery. Without their inspirational surroundings, the works of literary greats including Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth would not have made that significant step from pen to paper. Can you imagine growing up without Peter Rabbit? I know I can’t.

6. The Gentle Pace of Life

A truly beautiful place. I sat on Windamere Lake and painted my first watercolour. A very cherished memory.

I believe number 3 is a picture of Wast water in Wasdale, not Windermere. I lived 5 miles from wasdale for 3 years. Very fond memories

My dads face please in England :)
