THE ALLURE OF THE L AKES FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWDS


There is nowhere more lovely than the Lake District in the spring and early summer. This is the time of year when the beautiful native wild daffodils are out in flower which inspired William Wordsworth’s famous poem. The Lake District is a National Park, protected because of its beautiful countryside, wildlife and cultural heritage. It offers fantastic opportunities for recreation and attracts millions of visitors each year to enjoy this unique example of a living working landscape.


We take a look at a few more unusual places to stay.


PEACE, PERFECT PEACE


With the cold winter’s days almost behind us, now is the perfect time to book a trip to The Quiet Site, the award winning eco holiday park, which has a unique setting among the fells overlooking Ullswater, England’s most beautiful lake.


The site offers a range of accommodation options, including the new carbon neutral Gingerbread Houses, underground Glamping Burrows, cosy and comfortable glamping cabins, timber built camping pods as well as all-weather pitches for VW’s, motorhomes and tents.


Walkers will rejoice in the many walking routes available from the The Quiet Site, which is positioned right on the Ullswater Way – a 20-mile circular walk which circumnavigates the lake through a spectacular landscape. Other popular routes include the eight mile walk to the dramatic 70-foot Aria Waterfalls and the walk round Little Mell Fell which features beautiful wild flowers.


Facilities at The Quiet Site include The Quiet Bite, their new sustainable food outlet, The Quiet Bar an atmospheric pub which hosts live music and has an adjacent games room, Zero Waste Shop, Britain’s first in a holiday park, plus more.
