FULL ENGLISH; Ales, Dales and Blackpool rock! THE LAKE DISTRICT


The Lake District




We stayed in the beautiful Keswick while visiting the Lake District. This lovely little town was filled with traditional pubs, shops selling souvenirs and hiking gear and classy restaurants. The gardens here were very peaceful and filled with lovely plants.

While in Keswick, we took a day trip out to Buttermere, a lovely little town with the Buttermere lake, which you walk around in about 2 hours. The scenery here was beautiful and it made for a lovely day out.
 













 


We had to climb at least one Fell or Crag while visiting the Lake District, so we chose Walla Crag. At 1243 feet high, this crag was quite tough and took about 1.5 hours up hill. The climb was completely worth it once we saw the view!! (We also had a lovely Cornish pasty to look forward to at the top...)
