Timeshares in The Lake District



Guide to the Lake District

Sixteen major lakes, hundreds of steeply pitched mountains, scores of waterfalls and valleys, and a dozen major literary sites. Indeed, it is hard to think of a region in Britain with a similar breadth of scenery (wild fells to walled grazing land, glacial lakes to forested valleys) in such a small area. And although the Lake District might appear too popular for its own good, tourist numbers are concentrated in fairly specific areas. Even on the busiest of summer days, it's relatively easy to escape the crowds by climbing to the higher fells and more remote valleys. There are parts of the region, particularly in the north and west, where tourism is still decidedly low-key. Choose to come instead in the late autumn or winter - when magical crisp, clear days often enhance the natural backdrop - and even the most beaten paths and over-visited sights can be refreshingly uncluttered.

Windermere is England's largest lake and is set in the heart of the Lake District. Named after 'Vinand', a Norse settler, the lake is 16.8 km long, 0.8 km wide and is the 2nd deepest lake in the Lake District at 66.7 m.

Fancy a Trip to the Past?

Stott Park Bobbin Mill Finsthwaite, Newby Bridge, Cumbria LA12 8AX - England, UK Phone: +44 (0)15395 31087 As editor of TimeshareUK.com, I have visited this wonderful Bobbin Mil a couple of times. Built in 1835, it has been preseved as it was in Victorian times. On a guided tour, you are filled with impressions of young children, mothers, fathers, all working in the saw dust, knocking off the straps from the lathes that cut into the wood to form the shape of the bobbins, that went on to be used as cotton reels. Rustic, and educational. Map
