England’s largest national park at over 2,362km², its lakes, tarns and peaks are a thing of poetry, art and music. We have self-guided walking holidays to suit all ages and abilities there, some centre-based, others hotel to hotel, with some family-oriented adventures too. If you like to hike with your hound, then our Lake District accommodations are ready to welcome you with open arms. Hike along the shores of Ullswater, up to the heights of Skiddaw (931m) or Honister Pass or to the iconic and idyllic circuit of Derwentwater. England’s lakes just keep on giving.
