Lakes?
Or if you were buying outdoor gear, where would you go for great personal service and advice - from experts who really know what they're talking about?
What about eating out? Who's in and who's out of fashion? Where can you go for the best pub food? Or an exquisite gourmet treat?
And how can you find the most comfortable and enjoyable accommodation - the place to stay that exactly suits you and your needs? You'd like a romantic weekend away or you just have to have king-size beds? No problem!
We have the answers to these and all your other questions - saving you hours looking around, avoiding disappointment, and simply giving you the best holiday experience you can have!
The Lakes attracts many thousands of people every year,
yet the region retains its beauty, charm and tranquillity.
You can easily find yourself alone among some of the
finest mountain scenery in Europe, or you can explore the beautiful
valleys and little towns with a host of exciting restaurants, cafes, shops
and galleries.
Whether you want to trek the high passes of the Lakeland mountains, take a weekend break, or plan a fun day out, we can give you the ideas you need to make any Lakeland trip a rip-roaring success!

and, of course, on this website - by clicking on one of the links in the

District places and pastimes in our exciting, handy and time-saving "Top Ten" feature to the
