Hi guys! We hope you enjoyed our video on the best things to see and do in The Lake District! Comment down below your favourite place you've visited! ☺️
@@bushrahaseeb2929unfortunately not as its a woodland walk and is quite steep in some places. If you have a young child you can perhaps use a baby sling wrap otherwise we'd recommend visiting other areas with a easier route 😊
Great video! Beautiful content! Just curious, did you hire a car during your stay in the Lake District? Wanted to get your opinion how difficult to get around without one. Cheers!
We're coming back to the lakes this August I'll never tire of coming up from North Wales (which is equally as beautiful, but I've seen it all) to discover more than I did on the last trip. Great informative video guys thanks for taking the time to do it
We can see why you're going back - it's such a gorgeous place! Which areas are you planning on visiting in August? We hope you have a wonderful time and thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment :)
@@ToucanTravellers Aira force definitely, Brandelhow park and suprise view, Ullswater , Muncaster castle (garden's only though because we're taking the dog) Grizedale forest and a mooch around Keswick and Ambleside as you mentioned.
Same here. We have been living in North Wales 🏴 for more than 16 years and have seen all the beautiful areas and last week we’ve been to Lake District for the first time ( me & hubby, children visited from their high school as a geography trip) and we loved it. We’re hoping to go there again for another day visit some time soon 💕💓
I absolutely love Windermere and Buttermere. To be honest I love the Lake District as a whole. Great place to visit and trek I find a new spot everytime I come. Coniston Grasmere , Esthwaith. Just venture out and discover.
I’ve set myself a challenge this summer to see each and every lake in The Lake District. I managed to check Ennerdale Water off the list on Friday, but I’ve still yet to see Hawes Water, Lowes Water, Hayes Water and Devoke Water, plus I also need to actually set foot on the banks of Brothers Water and Bassenthwaite Lake, having only seen them out of a bus window en route to Glenridding and Cockermouth respectively.
@@ToucanTravellers As a matter of fact, I’m reading this comment whilst taking a brief pitstop in Drigg en route back to Ravenglass Station from Wast Water, and I’ve got to say, that has been one of my favourite lakes so far.
Haweswater isn't technically a Lake. It's a man made reservoir, built in the 1930's and early 40's to provide Manchester with drinking water..... The drowned village of Mardale lies in the bottom, and is occasionally revealed if the water levels drop enough in times of hotter weather.....
Somebody recently left a Tripadvisor review of the Lake District recently, complaining that there were "too many" Lakes..... I wonder who forced the reviewer to see them all?
nice video guys! i visit the lakes a couple of times a year, I see you have a drone, I`ll be taking mine the next time I go, grassmere and ulswater look good for photography, usually i spend my time in windermere, kendal
Be very careful flying a drone in the Lake District, as the RAF and US Air Force use the area for low flying training, and they can appear without warning. Also be aware that the National Trust do not allow the flying of model aircraft or drones from their land - which extends to 4000+ acres of the Lake District.....
Hi Tessa, thanks for your message. Most of the places listed in our video are pram-friendly, especially the likes of Grasmere, but usually any woodland walk is going to be pretty challenging with a pram. This is a good article that includes good walks in The Lake District that you may find helpful: familytraveller.com/holiday-destinations/uk/england/lake-district/buggy-walks-in-the-lake-district/ Hope you have a lovely time away :)
Haha, yes we did all the walking but on flat ground! We merely visited to see the areas not the mountains (even though it's the reason why a lot of people visit) hope you enjoyed it none-the-less! :)
We stayed in Keswick at a lovely B&B for two days about three years with friends from Birmingham who were our guides. We fell in love with the Lakes District, the area is stunning and the villages are all very walkable and offered unique shops and places to eat. If you ever get to visit Great Britain make plans to stay in the Lake District!!
The bridge into Pooley Bridge was only completed in October 2020 after the original stone bridge was washed away by severe flood waters during Storm Desmond in December 2015.
As someone who was born and has lived in the Lakes all their life, I tend to head over to North Yorkshire when I want to get away from the crowds. I like the fact that North Yorkshire is *nowhere* nearly as commercialised as the Lake District is. Oh, and Grasmere is a *village* not a town......and it's not Grasmere Lake, it's Rydal Water.
I would advise people to steer well clear of the popular Lake District tourist hot spots because they are now attracting the louts who once frequented the likes of Blackpool. Crime is soaring but, the reporting of that crime is being suppressed by the local media.
There is a great exhibition about Donald Campbell and his quest for speed on land and water. This is located at the lakekand motor museum. They bake great cake and scones there 😋
A good start! Next go to the really beautiful Western Lakes, in particular, the amazing Wastwater. Wasdale and Eskdale are enchanting, and Wasdale not only has England's deepest lake, but also the highest mountain, Scafell Pike (pronounced scaw-full). Eskdale has the La'al Ratty minature railway to Ravenglass. It also has the start of the extreme Hardknott Pass to Langdale. 3:1 ascents and descents.... Lastly, there is only one "lake" in the Lake District ~ Bassenthwaite Lake, north of Keswick. The rest are either "meres" or "waters". The smaller ones are "tarns".
We stayed on the outskirts of Ambleside by Windermere last year and it was so busy with day trippers at the weekends it might as well have been Blackpool. On the Monday though everything went back to normal - thank goodness. Back there again in a couple of weeks and I don’t think this year it will be any quieter? Who cares - it’s still The Lakes. Enjoyed the travelogue and your take on things to see and do.
"Immensely popular" Windermere, Ambleside and Bowness.....a nice way of saying miles of traffic. I'm lucky enough to live in Kendal (still awful traffic) but the best bit of Cumbria is that one can avoid the tourists and still see breathtaking views. It is beautiful.
Excellent. Well done, guys. Great work. Even stopped my wife working to come over to my desk to view! We're frequent visitors, so many places and scenes familiar to us but great to see the drone shots and interesting to see the new bridge at Pooley Bridge.
Thank you for your comment, Terry - the part about your wife made us chuckle! Yes, it's always great to see places from a birds eye view. Take care and thanks again :)
@@ToucanTravellers Thanks for reply. What about a few more shots where we see you guys (together and singly) from the front rather than walking away from the camera? A bit more personalised? Just a thought. Was the drone very expensive?
@@fastrax1949 ha, yes there's quite a few of us from behind. I guess we just wanted to appear a bit more 'natural' and as this is a travel guide as opposed to a 'vlog' we didn't want to many shots from the front.

Thank you Ridhi for your kind words. We loved visiting! We saw that you recently got back from the Lake District and hope you enjoyed! We love your video too - amazing drone shots. They look so cinematic 😍

Do you know that Windermere Lake as you say is Not a Lake it is a Mere just look on a map. There are Meres and Waters and only one Lake do you know which one is a Lake clue it starts with a B.
@@wiganfan3373 Only one body of water, Bassenthwaite Lake, is traditionally named a lake.Larger bodies of water in the Lake District are generally named as mere or water, whilst smaller ones are denoted by tarn. Some writers, particularly in the media, refer to Lake Windermere though this use is deprecated. As for Born n bred I look out my window over one of the Waters from my family's long lived in old farm are yam.
Hi there! Lake District is home to many hotels and B&B's. Your best bet is to have a look on Tripadvisor for hotel reviews. We stayed in a hot tub lodge when we visited, but there's plenty of other options :) Let us know if you need any advice at all.

Have read online that privatized water companies are dumping their waste into it so not sure its safe to visit might want to avoid swimming in it or breathing in the fresh stink air .
You shouldn’t believe all the rubbish that you can read online, water companies take water out from some of the lakes and they have to ensure its purity. Powered Boats are banned in these lakes for this reason. Why would they dump waste, (what waste, you don’t need anything but a pipeline?) into their source? It makes no sense for them to pollute their own supplies either business wise or for ecological purposes. Swimming is banned in some of the lakes that are used for water, mainly because it’s dangerous, the water is extracted,treated and filtered like all water in the UK, it has to be because of natural pollutants such as dead animals.
No water companies are pumping waste into any lakes near here. Try not to believe everything you read online..... The nearest to have traces of waste is Windermere. You really shouldn't drink water anyway, because fish p*ss in it.

No water companies are pumping waste into any lakes near here. Try not to believe everything you read online..... The nearest to have traces of waste is Windermere. You really shouldn't drink water anyway, because fish p*ss in it.
