Summer is here
The good weather brings forth a sudden interest in summer holidays and more and more people start frantically booking their planned trips, be it for holiday cottages in Scotland, a luxury hotel in the Maldives, or a camping trip to France.
Holidaying within the UK seems to be more and more popular as more and more people choose to stay on home turf rather than pay high travel costs. And Britain is such a diverse country, offering a range of options to suit all travellers that there really is no reason to go to far flung destinations.
With its favourable climate the West Country is always a favourite but for those who yearn for extremes of countryside, scattered liberally with attractive towns and villages, Cumbria and the Lake District is a definite destination. A mecca for walkers and tourists alike, in towns such as Ambleside Cottages for rented self catering fill rapidly each holiday season.
Within many of the quaint towns such as Keswick cottages crowd the street sides, vying for space in the narrow lanes. Overlooking the towns can be found a range of mountains, such as Skiddaw, Britain's fourth largest that towers over Keswick.
Renowned for its expansive lakes and majestic mountains, with valleys home to quaint villages, the Lake District is an ideal destination for those looking for self catering options. Staying in one of the Keswick cottages or Ambleside Cottages offers a great base from which to explore the whole area.
Windermere's claim to fame as England's largest lake brings visitors flocking to Ambleside, home to the Armitt museum for those days when the drizzle appears and nearby find the stunning Stock Ghyll Force Waterfall and accompanying visitor centre at the Bridge House.
Staying in Ambleside Cottages is an excellent option for exploring the area fully. The delights of the Lake District are all within easy access but for day trip options, it is straightforward to reach Hadrian's Wall, the impressive wall that borders Scotland and is steeped in history of the wars between England and Scotland. The Pennines and Yorkshire Dales, as well as the attractive Eden Valley are also close enough to visit in a day.
Choosing a self catering holiday option in Britain offers flexibility, variety and excellent facilities, not to mention beautiful scenery. For those who love to explore or just relax and watch the world go by, the UK has it all.
