Cumbria Self Catering 

If you are looking to stay in the UK for your short break or holiday then a visit to Cumbria
and the Lake District should be high on your list. Up in the north of England, bordering parts
of Scotland, Cumbria is perhaps one of the most beautiful places in England – location of the
English Lake District, and home to the poet Wordsworth and beloved by Alfred Wainwright (he of
the hand annotated guides to the fells and valleys).

This scenic, picturesque county has inspired countless books, paintings and poetry due to its
beauty and you really haven’t seen Britain unless you’ve scaled the peaks, rambled the walks
or at least picnicked in the marvellous countryside of Cumbria and the Lake District.

Cumbria Self Catering: If you intend to get the full experience when visiting Cumbria, you have to hire a Cumbria
self catering
cottage. Depending on your party’s size you may be able to get away with just
one, or you made need several. This is because some Cumbrian cottages tend to be very small,
only accommodating about 3 - 4 people.


Activities: There is no problem with taking long peaceful walks along the country trails or sitting back and
relaxing in the summer sun by some beautiful greenery, but Cumbria offers a wealth of other
activities that require a little more effort, but are probably just as much fun. Why not go extreme and tackle nature head on by visiting some of the famous grags in the Lake  District. There are many qualified instructors who will take you for a days introductory climb.  Or try cycling and choose from the many off-road tracks - there are many outlets where you can  hire a bike and take to the fells.
