Lake District Keswick Great Britain England (6/10-12/2016)
Village - Lake District England |
Patterdale Lake - Ullswater, Lake District England |
As Pat and I drove into the English Lake District, we kept saying to each other “Look at that!” and “Look at this!” over and over with many “How wonderful” thrown in. The century-old cottages are like they jumped from a postcard to real life and the quaint lake towns are charmingly inviting. The striking pale green slate mined in this region makes the buildings uniquely beautiful.

Kenwick is a nice town and has much to offer a visitor. In addition to having some of the best hikes in the immediate area, there are plenty of other things to do in Keswick. The Theatre by the Lakeputs on award-winning performances – book ahead because they sell out. There is also a movie theatre (Alhambra Cinema), shopping, and other attractions. For some nice Indian food, we liked the Lakeland Spice Cuisine restaurant.

Peter the Rabbit - World of Beatrix Potter |
Also, for Peter the Rabbit fans and families, head to Bowness’ World of Beatrix Potterthemed attraction that brings to life scenes from her famous books and her history. Pat loved this because she read these books to our son, Alden. When you fancy a pint or lunch, Bowness has a good selection restaurants and pubs.

Honister Slate Mine - Honister Pass |
Continue on to Seatoller and then the Honister Pass where a stop at the Honister Slate Mine is very interesting. Take a look around the interesting visitor center for the history of this beautiful green slate and pick up some attractive souvenirs. Mine tours are available for those with a high interest.
The Fish Inn - Lake Buttermore |
Now continue on through the beautiful Buttermere Valley. If you ‘fancy a pint or lunch’, stop at The Fish Inn behind the Bridge Hotel. From the public parking lot here, you can take a nice walk around Lake Buttermore.

Important driving tip: Because many of the roads in England, especially in the Lake District, are smaller country roads with many confusing roundabouts, getting lost is not hard. In fact, it can be fun if you can get back on track.
