The Lake District is arguably one of the nicest parts of England. The air is always sublimely fresh, the grass splendidly green, and all the gardens seamlessly flow into one another. Visiting the area in the early summer weeks can be slightly problematic weather-wise but even daily showers did not prevent my enjoyment of the luscious lands. Obviously visiting the childhood home of William Wordsworth was on the top of my list. Beatrix Potter's home was another must-see attraction in the vicinity. Although there are loads of wonderful hotels and rented flats available, we stayed in a lovely hostel in the Elterwater, Cumbria. Tourists are a persistent presence in the Lake District but not in the ridiculously abundant fashion that they are in London or other major cities in Europe. It definitely comes highly recommended by myself and the company I kept. Just be sure to pack a raincoat.
