This is the homepage for The Lake District Visitor Guide.

This site is intended to be a convenient resource for anybody visiting,

or interested in, the Lake District in Cumbria, England.

The Lake District is one of the most popular holiday destinations in England.

The stunning scenery of it’s famous lakes and mountains and its links with the poetry and writings of William Wordsworth keep visitors returning again and again, along with a heathy batch of new converts every year.

We will be adding new sections on a very regular basis, on the geography, the lakes and mountains, events, accomodation and travel information.

If you have never visited the area before, please browse our site to learn about the various attractions to be found within the Lake District region. We also strongly recommend the book,

by Mark Richards for an inspirational and detailed guide to fifty memorable expeditions on the high fells of Lakeland. These circular routes have been chosen to provide the moderately adventurous walker with a range of essential walks for exploring the region.
