England’s Lake District is my favorite place in the whole world! I have created this site (with a little help from friends) to share my enthusiasm for, and knowledge of, this beautiful area. I got the idea after several people told me they were planning a trip to the Lakes after seeing my Instagram photos and asked me for advice about where to go and what to do. After writing several long emails on the topic, I figured why not put this information online?
If this is your first trip to the Lakes, I suggest you start with my beginner’s guide.
I’m not affiliated with any hotels, restaurants, or other businesses; I’m just a person who loves Lakeland. Although I live in the U.S., I tend to visit several times a year. All the recommendations and information are based on my own experiences; there’s no pay-to-play.
The downside is that I have (somehow!) not visited the entirety of Lakeland (yet) so there are definitely some gaps in my knowledge of the area. I tend to be more interested in hiking than the coast, for example, so you’ll find a lot more information about the fells than you will about the seaside. I’ll keep adding information as I learn more myself.
I hope you enjoy exploring this site and that it helps you plan a great trip! If you’d like to get in touch, please use the form below.
