EXPLORING THE WONDER OF ENGLAND'S LAKE DISTRICT REGION
May 28, 2016
If you haven't yet been to the English Lake District get a move
on!!!! It's the most beautiful place on Earth especially the area of
Derwentwater. Early June was upon us crossing from Scotland through
the Scottish Borders and into the heart of the Lake District of England.
A B&B stone cottage with a lovely garden
provided us a good central base camp at Windermere.
We spent two days around
the area with a lovely drive around Coniston River and experienced the amazing
world of Beatrix Potter as we saw Bowness and Grasmere, visited Hill Top to see
her home and the region 
which inspired her love of nature,
writings and illustrations. She never had
children and donated all her wealth and estate properties to the National Trust
for the conservation of the Lake District.
Rolling along English lush green
mountain hills and countryside lakes with wild flowers flourishing, walking
foot paths, highland and belted cows, wild pheasants, boats, and meandering
through one man’s incredible hillside garden was truly scenic and the best of nature.
The only regret was not having planned more time to stay and hike
amongst the region to explore its three mountain passes and all the ten
beautiful lakes of the district. It is a lovely destination away from the
hustle and bustle of everyday life to spend a holiday.
