| The
area around Grasmere, Ambleside, Coniston & Windermere
forms the hub of the tourist activity during the
Summer months and are perfect places to base walking
or cycling trips. |

district offers great locations |
|
Hundreds of beaches and inlets combining with centuries old fishing villages and sophisticated seaside resorts - the perfect locations for fun by the sea. Discover rock pools, secluded coves for unwinding with a good book and tales of sea faring adventures.
Wast water is the deepest Lake
in the Lake District and is over looked by Scafell
pike which at 3206 feet is Englands highest mountain.

| Lake Winderemere is the largest
and I suppose the most commercialised of all the
Lakes.Fell
Foot Park is situated at the southern
end of Lake Windermere on the Lake road, the National
Trust owned Fell Foot Park is a great place to
be on a summers day to just sit and relax or if
you are brave enough-to swim in the cold Lake
water. There is a cafe to keep you fed and watered
all day long and of course the ubiquitous gift
shop. |

By
Air
Manchester Airport is 1 hours away. There are direct
train links from the airport to Grange-over-Sands, Ulverston
and Barrow-in-Furness.
By
Road
The easiest approach is from Junction 36 off the M6
motorway, from where you will soon see signs for the
A590, Grange and Barrow. Most routes from the north
of Cumbria, including those through the Central Lake
District, join the A590, which is the main road through
the Furness and Cartmel Peninsulas.
By
Rail
Arguably one of the most scenic train journeys in the
country. Rail links to Grange-over-Sands, Ulverston
and Barrow-in-Furness.

| My
suggestion is to spend at least 3 days in Lake
district to decently explore this wonderful area. |
