Lake District

Duration: 2 days

Journey with us to one of the United Kingdom’s most unhidden secrets. The Lake District is a popular English destination, with upwards of fifteen million visitors a year. Famous for its magnificent hills, lakes and forests, it’s a beautiful place to spend a weekend exploring and hiking. The Lake District became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017 and, spanning over 2,362 square kilometers, you’ll be left dumbfounded by the sheer beauty of the region. It’s no wonder why so many poets and artists have found inspiration in this iconic British landscape.
