Imagine a place so captivating that someone dedicates their life to recording its beauty. Alfred Wainwright found that in the Lake District - and we explore the landscapes that so enchanted him on our Lake District short breaks. We cruise Windermere, taking in the astounding views of fells and woodland that hug its shores, and enjoy a photo-worthy drive through some of the area’s most exquisite scenery. A day at leisure allows you to explore further on our Lake District holidays - perhaps pretty Ambleside or Bowness-on-Windermere - or relax at our lakeside hotel.
