Log Cabin Holiday by the Lakes.
There is no better way to experience the UK than on a log cabin holiday in the Lake District with family or friends – or both! The experience of a location is enhanced when viewed from a local perspective and log cabin holidays offer just that. This is accommodation within a community where visitors become locals for a week or a month. Local traditions are revealed, the off-beaten track discovered and the pleasures of a local community with all its history and treasures shared and enjoyed.
The Lake district is amongst the most outstanding of Britain’s splendorous regions, in fact the area became known for the famous poets that regularly sought the peace and inspiration of the district. The most famous of these were William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey. These poets became well known as the Lake School of Poetry after the region.
Although the name may give the impression that the area is flat that is certainly not the case. The Lake District is quite mountainous with hillsides to suit the moderate tramper as well as the keen mountaineer. Other sports and recreation opportunities include fishing (although with restrictions in the National Park) biking, and all types of boating. Steam boats chug up and down the Windermere lakes daily carting tourists from all around the globe.
Picture golden eagles squawking overhead as you paddle along one of the many meres, tarns or reservoirs to picnic lakeside, in possibly the same spot Beatrix Potter sat and contemplated her lovable characters. The Lakes District is rich in natural majesty and in culture. Throughout the tourist season visitors can enjoy theatre productions in the park as well as the many art exhibits.
The Lakes National Park is the largest in England. Within the park, in addition to enjoying the natural environment, visitors will experience every aspect that the best of tourism has to offer. Horses are welcome in the park and there are 3500 kilometers of trail to explore. Kite surfing, zorbing, mountain boarding, climbing and abseiling are available for the more adventurous tourist. For the kids, Brockdale boasts an impressive adventure playground packed with rope walks, slides, swings, scramble nets and zip wires. There truly is something for everyone on a log cabin holiday in the Lake District.
