The year was 1998, and I took full advantage of a $400 airfare on "Royal Airlines". To visit England for 2 whole weeks. I enjoyed the experience very much. One of the best parts of this vacation was a visit to Lake Windermere and the English "Lake District".
I traveled from Hadrian's Wall to get there. Travel to me. Is leaving normal human society completely. That goal was achieved wonderfully on my trip to visit Lake Windermere. Now for the pictures. I hope you will get some of that special feeling after having a look at the photos. Also hope you also get to visit there one day soon!
The Lake District, also commonly known as The Lakes, is a mountainous region in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous not only for its lakes and its mountains (or fells) but also for its associations with the early 19th century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the other Lake Poets.
The majority of the area was designated as the Lake District National Park in 1951. It is the largest of the thirteen National Parks in England and Wales, and the second largest in the UK (after the Cairngorms).[1] It lies entirely within the modern county of Cumbria, shared historically by the counties of Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire. All the land in England higher than three thousand feet above sea level lies within the National Park, including Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. It also contains the deepest and longest lakes in England.
Gorgeous pictures! I can't wait to see it for myself!
