Lake District
When it comes to breath-taking scenery, the Lake District seriously delivers. Recently awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, England’s biggest national park is famous for towering mountains, vast lakes, pretty stone cottages and stunning landscape, which have inspired writers and poets for centuries. It’s hard not to be taken in by the romance of the area, whether hiking up fells, taking in the sights from a steamboat on one of the lakes or cosying up in front of a roaring fire at a traditional pub. For relaxed luxury–think roll-top baths and private terraces–stay at Brimstone Hotel in Ambleside.
