How To Use The Lake District To Its Best Advantage
Those heading on a Lake District holiday will be pleased to hear a whole host of activities are on offer in the region.
People staying in any holiday cottage during the May bank holiday can expect to enjoy a range of destinations and events.
Holidaymakers who bring their walking boots and would like to get out and explore the beautiful scenery should also find loads to do here.
On May 2nd and 3rd an amble around the very old town of Hawkshead is planned, as well as other tracks across Hartsop.
In fact, greater than 300 guided scrambles and walks have been put together by the Lake District National Park Authority and Cumbria Tourism, so there will be something for everyone.
National park events organiser Andrea Hills said: "Along with our partners, we have put together a fantastically varied and compelling list."
And those whose Lake District holidays are booked for later months could take a look at the free Events 2010 Guide, which highlights the activities on offer for the whole year.
A stay in a Lake District cottage could give you the chance to see some incredible sunsets.
Those who are keen photographers on holiday in the region could also see it as a chance to capture some great snapshots.
According to the Guardian’s Country diary: "The Solway sunsets have been a delight this year."
The plains of the Lake District offer a picturesque background all year round, but they recently became particularly spectacular with the effect the ash from the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland had on the atmosphere.
In this area of the Lakes "the sinking sun has had even more amazing effect on the hills", the author reveals.
Owner of one of the local ice cream shops, Freddy Ball, told the magazine that he could remember the spectacular evenings in the sky after Washington’s Mount St Helens erupted in 1980.
So on your next Lake District holiday, why not pack your camera and capture the scenes as the sun sets?
