English Lakeland is one of the best-loved and most beautiful regions in the British Isles. Here the sight and sound of water is never far away, and the gushing waterfalls, meandering rivers and tranquil lakes add a special magic and serenity that draws visitors back time and time again.
Overlooked by the imposing ruins of its Norman Castle, birthplace of Henry VIII's sixth and final wife Catherine Parr, the ancient market town of Kendal is the oldest and most important of the Southern Lakeland communities. Here the clear river Kent winds its way through the town and hillside sheep farmers and tourists rub shoulders along the narrow old streets and picturesque yards.
Kendal is known as the 'Gateway to the Lakes' and is perfectly placed for touring this majestic part of the country. The town is surrounded on all sides by beautiful rolling countryside and it is just a short journey west to the Lake District National Park. Here there is a vast range of activities to choose from, from water sports, fishing and nature trails through to more leisurely pursuits such as taking a Lakeland steamer cruise, or visiting any of a whole host of gardens, historic houses and museums. Of the many famous homes open to the public, Dalemain House and Gardens is well worth a visit. A medieval Tudor and early Georgian house that has been home to the same family since 1679, it also houses the Westmorland and Cumberland Yeomanry Museum.
And of course the Lake District inspired the works of many great poets and writers, perhaps the most famous of which is William Wordsworth. Dove Cottage in Grasmere, his home for many years, and Rydal, where he died in 1850, are both open to the public.
But it is the lakes themselves that draw people back to this beautiful corner of England time and time again. Windermere, Derwentwater, Grasmere, Ullswater, Coniston... each one has its own special character and personality, and each one is a delight to explore time, after time, after time.
