Lake District, 10 Lakes Tour, England
England's Lake District is one of the prettiest parts of the United Kingdom as we'll show you in our driving tour that's going to be visiting most of the lakes of this wonderful area in the northwest of Great Britain, sharing with you some astonishingly pretty views.
We'll also visit some of the small towns that dot this landscape and we will take you on a boat ride from one end of Ullswater to the other, it's the second largest Lake in the Lake District, although it's only 9 miles long, so you'll find that the Lake District is relatively compact in size.
It's about 30 miles wide and about 40 miles from north to south, all included in the National Park that was created in 1951.

While it's called the Lake District for a good reason – that's the main attraction – there are many other sites to see, like the old stone bridge, the beautiful countryside we’re driving past, the mountain streams and lakes of course.

Things To Do In Lake District In 48 Hours (Northern England Travel Guide)
Few places are as cliché bucolic as the Lake District in northwest England. This was my first trip to the UK and while most travelers would choose to explore the big city on a first visit, I've always loved the countryside, so I was excited to explore the parts of the country known for their stunning natural good looks. The Lake District attracts some 15 million people each year. They come to marvel at this lush green meets blue region's lakes, hills and fells, or drive quiet country roads to quaint lost-in-time villages perfect for sipping a cup of afternoon tea. Beyond the outdoors, this region is also rich in literary history with connections to William Wordsworth, John Ruskin and Beatrix Potter, who were among the wordsmiths to be inspired by this magical region. After a few days exploring I was quick to see why! Here's how I spent my 48 Hours in the Lake District.

Places to see in ( Grasmere - UK )
Places to see in ( Grasmere - UK )
Grasmere is a village and tourist destination in the centre of the English Lake District. Grasmere takes its name from the adjacent lake, and has associations with the Lake Poets. The poet William Wordsworth, who lived in Grasmere for 14 years, described it as the loveliest spot that man hath ever found.
Before 1974, Grasmere lay within the former county of Westmorland. Today it is part of the county of Cumbria. The village is on the river Rothay which flows into Grasmere (the water body), which lies about 0.5 km to the south. The village is overlooked from the north-west by the rocky hill of Helm Crag, popularly known as The Lion and the Lamb or the Old Lady at the Piano.
A number of popular walks begin in the village of Grasmere , including the ascent of Helm Crag, a longer route up to Fairfield and a moderate 200-metre ascent to Easedale Tarn. The village is also on the route of Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk.
The A591 connects Grasmere to the Vale of Keswick over Dunmail Raise to the north, and Ambleside to the south. In other directions, Grasmere is surrounded by high ground. (As of Christmas 2015, the A591 was washed away on the Keswick side of Dunmail Raise, resulting in a long detour. It was reopened in May 2016.) To the west, a long ridge comes down from High Raise and contains the lesser heights of Blea Rigg and Silver How. To the east, Grasmere is bordered by the western ridge of the Fairfield horseshoe.
Grasmere is served by the Stagecoach 555 bus service connecting towns in and near the Lake District, such as Keswick and Lancaster. In summer it is also served by an open top double-decker 599 service, operated by Stagecoach, which runs between Grasmere and Bowness-on-Windermere.
Grasmere's famous Rushbearing Ceremony, centred on St Oswald's Church, has ancient origins. Grasmere is now home to the winner of the 'Get Started Award 2014' awarded by the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs, the Handmade Chocolate Shop. Today's Grasmere Gingerbread is made to a secret recipe popularised by Sarah Nelson (1815–1904).
( Grasmere - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Grasmere . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Grasmere - UK

Viking Legacy of The Lake District
The area of Northern England now known as Cumbria was once part of Cumberland and was inhabited by Welsh people until the Anglo-Saxon king Edmund took over the area and later gave it to King Malcolm of Scotland in exchange for his military support. The area still has a great many Celtic names like Carlisle, Penrith and Penruddock.
Many English people moved into the area too, though they were outnumbered by Welsh at first, there is also an Anglo-Saxon influence on Cumbrian toponymy with examples such as Keswick, Workington and Barrow-in-Furness.
Finally the Vikings settled the area in the 10th century, Norwegians came over from Ireland, Iceland and the Northern islands and left their mark too. Many mountains, rivers and valleys have Norse names, as attested by the abundance of the elements fell, -ay and dale (Mickledore, Scafell, Rothay, Duddon, Langsleddale, Allerdale). Many town and villages also contain Norse elements (Whitehaven, Ravenglass, Silloth, Ulverston, Ambleside) and the second largest lake, Ullswater is thought to be named after the Nordic god Ullr (Ull) as this video reveals.
An excerpt from Grímnismál mentions Ull, the mysterious god of hunting and skiing:
May he have Ull's help, and of all of the gods,
who first takes hold of the flame;
for worlds fall open to the sons of the Æsir,
when they carry up cauldrons.
The video also shows Aira Force, a waterfall named by Vikings, the word eyrara, meaning gravel-bank stream or river and word force, from fors, is used in many parts of northern England as a synonym for waterfall.
