Places to see in ( Lake District - UK )
The Lake District is a region and national park in Cumbria in northwest England. A popular vacation destination, it’s known for its glacial ribbon lakes, rugged fell mountains and historic literary associations. Market towns such as Kendal, Ambleside and Keswick on scenic Derwentwater are bases for exploring the area and home to traditional inns, galleries of local art and outdoor equipment shops.
The Lake District, also known as the Lakes or Lakeland, is a mountainous region in North West England. A popular holiday destination, Lake District is famous for its lakes, forests and mountains (or fells) and its associations with the early 19th century writings of William Wordsworth and the other Lake Poets.
Lake District is located in the county of Cumbria, and all the land in England higher than 3,000 feet (910 m) above sea level lies within the National Park, including Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. Lake District also contains the deepest and longest bodies of water in England, respectively Wast Water and Windermere.
The Lake District National Park includes nearly all of the Lake District, though the town of Kendal and the Lakeland Peninsulas are currently outside the park boundary. The Lake District is one of the most highly populated national parks. There are, however, only a handful of major settlements within this mountainous area, the towns of Keswick, Windermere, Ambleside, and Bowness-on-Windermere being the four largest.
The Lake District National Park is almost contained within a box of trunk routes. It is flanked to the east by the A6 road which runs from Kendal to Penrith (though the extension approved in 2015 will be east of the A6). The principal radial valleys are (clockwise from the south) Dunnerdale, Eskdale, Wasdale, Ennerdale, Lorton Vale and the Buttermere valley, the Derwent Valley and Borrowdale, the valleys containing Ullswater and Haweswater, Longsleddale, the Kentmere valley and those radiating from the head of Windermere including Great Langdale.
Only one of the lakes in the Lake District is called by that name, Bassenthwaite Lake. All the others such as Windermere, Coniston Water, Ullswater and Buttermere are meres, tarns and waters, with mere being the least common and water being the most common. The major lakes and reservoirs in the National Park are given below.

Robin Hoods Bay to Richmond
Richmond to St. Bees
St. Bees to Harwich - Holland
What a strange feeling i had these final days. No more walking and time to wander around and do nothing. So you start thinking back to the walking days the struggles the people the views and all the things that made the walk so fantastic.
And that it is all over i felt homesick in both ways on the one side i wanted to get home and tell them all about my adventure on the other side i would like to start again.
Specially wen i got the final night in St Bees clear sky beach full with people and all the walkers that started that day with there adventure. I envied them. But i also was glad that i was not walking in that same parade of 50+ walkers as them.
The people i found on my path where the best and they made the walk more then just a long distance walk the made it a fantastic walk.
Thanks to them all, and perhaps we walk again on the same path.
