Country house previously owned by artist John Ruskin. Near to Lake Coniston, so, if it's a nice day, combine with a walk along the lakeshore or even up nearby fell Coniston Old Man.

Fantastic area. Beautiful scenery, great little villages, pubs and shops. We stayed in a couple of cottages we found on the Lovetoescape portal - loads to choose from. Why holiday abroad when the exchange rate is bad, home has so much to offer.

Ullswater is beautiful, tranquil and worth visiting - whatever the time of year. Walk round the lake, catch the steamer, or drive round - it's marvellous!

Beautiful spot with great walks on the east around Place Fell. Take a trip on the Ullswater Steamers to get a good sense of the lake and, if you're feeling adventurous, head up Hevellyn from Patterdale or Glenridding.

Delightful place to stay, great location for exploring the north lakes away from the crowds.

It may be only the second highest mountain in England but it has the best views! Fantastic walk from Glenridding or Patterdale via Striding Edge.
