The Lake District, or “Lakeland” as commonly referred to by locals, is arguably the United Kingdom’s most popular national park, and it’s not hard to see why. Filled to the brim with the best of the countryside from jagged hills, sparkling lakes to picturesque stone-built villages, and most of it poetically enlivened by the imaginings of the Romantic writers who all came and discovered a wealth of inspiration as rich as its varied landscape, the national park is awash with both outdoor adventures and soulful contemplation ready for the taking. Head high up to England’s northwest with a customised Lake District tour package from Chan Brothers Travel Private Tours and read a page in this book about the enchanting English countryside.
Wander on WindermereWindermere Lake is the largest lake of the United Kingdom and contains the most famous settlements of the whole national park, hence a perfect starting point for any visit to the Lake District. Take a cruise around the lake and choose to drop off at any point and visit many local attractions such as Lakes Aquarium and Motor Museum, or simply relax on the deck and take in all the majestic views as you cruise languidly past Windermere, Bowness and Ambleside, and imagine all these are just but all in a day’s work of the lucky residents who call this gorgeous lake home.

Out to campFancy camping out together with the brood? If getting away from the built-up concrete of the city and getting close to nature is a main priority for your holiday, then the Lake District is a great escape for that exact purpose. Build your own shelter and sleep in it, learn fire-lighting and bushcraft skills (basically how to survive in the wild), cook up a storm using just a campfire, go on nature discovery walks and cosy up with one another in the evening and listen to stories about the myths of the woods, this is a perfect two-day camping excursion in which families of all ages get to bond over an unforgettable time out in the bounty of nature.

Farm it out to luxury
And when you are done weathering the elements and experiencing time out in the woods, perhaps it is time to pamper yourself again, but don’t worry, you are not leaving Mother Nature behind, at least not yet. Savour a different taste of the countryside with a luxurious farm experience where you get to stay in timbered cottages, indulge in a traditional Cumbrian farmhouse breakfast of high-quality and locally sourced ingredients, potter around and explore more of the fells and forests at your leisure, or take part in farm life and sample the cream of the crop thereafter. Whoever says becoming one with nature is always a rough affair must be terribly mistaken.
