The
very heart of the English Lake District has so much to offer visitors it’s
almost impossible to decide where to start. There are picturesque villages
rich in history, spectacular scenery ideal for quiet contemplation or adventurous
outdoor activities. Whatever your taste there is something for everyone,
come rain or shine in their Lake District Holidays. Once you have seen it
you can easily understand why the area has provided inspiration for great
writers, poets, artists and craftsmen. There is never a season in the year
when the area fails to provide spectacular scenery and a warm welcome.
The
Eden Valley is possibly England's best kept secret. A truly delightful area.
Historic Penrith, "Gateway to the Northern Lakes", is the major
town in the Eden Valley. This is wonderful walking country, either a leisurely
walk along river banks and lake shore or take to the higher paths over the
Pennines and Lake District fells. The Northern Lakes, Ullswater and Haweswater,
are said to be unrivalled for scenery, the mountain grandeur mirrored in
the lakes. The Ullswater Steamers cruise nine miles from the gently rolling
fells at Pooley Bridge to Glenridding, overlooked by the majestic slopes
of Helvellyn.
Whatever you want to find around Kendal; shops, businesses, hotels, pubs,
restaurants, clubs, cinemas, theatres, etc. Much of the local countryside
is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the best way to
discover it is on foot. Kendal is often referred to as the gateway to the
Lakes.
