The Lake District is a brilliant location for a relaxing break. Whether you love a bit of adventure or like nothing more than a gentle stroll in the hills, there’s something for everyone in the region.

We live in a world where families often get separated. Brothers and sisters get married, move to different locations and coming together can be difficult. If you are hosting a family reunion, dealing with all the logistics is certainly challenging. Of course, much depends on the size of your clan and where they are coming from.

Anyone who has visited the Lake District and loves their walking will have heard of Alfred Wainwright. His books are still the definitive guides for hiking in the fells and you’ll often see trekkers walking along carrying one of his tomes.

Looking for ways to keep your little people entertained in the Lake District National Park this half term? Wanting to make the most of your hard-earned family holiday to the Lakes? We’ve put together some of our favourite family days out, things to see and places to go to help you and your family have the best possible half term ever!

Autumn is always so much fun. The start of a new term and looking forward to events like Halloween, Bonfire Night and October half term makes Autumn one of the best times of the year to visit Coniston in the Lake District.

The Lake District is beautiful, but it can feel busy when there are lots of visitors in the same place. Here is a quick guide to avoiding the crowds on your Lake District Cottage Holiday.

There is no doubt that the Lake District is one of the most amazing places to visit if you like walking. The great news is it’s the perfect hiking location even during the winter. There are plenty of spectacular views and the odd welcoming hostelry where you can warm yourself in front of the fire.

You may think that the Lake District has everything you could ever want in the way of entertainment and stunning scenery. You could spend a whole lifetime exploring the area and discovering new things. Booking a cottage with a hot tub, however, can add that little bit of extra excitement to your stay in the area.

When the leaves change, the whole of the Lake District takes on a golden glow, and it is easy to see that Autumn has arrived. Autumn breaks in the Lake District are special, the busy summer traffic has gone and there is a soft hush as the leaves fall inviting you to explore new experiences you would not have discovered at any other time of year.

This year more than ever, having a quick getaway with the one you love is important and the Lake District is the perfect place for a couple’s break. Wide open spaces, fells, lakes and cosy pubs makes the Lake District, especially in and around Coniston one of the best couples’ holiday destinations in the UK.
