Hiking England’s Lake District with Adventures in Good Company
The Lake District of England, with its myriad of hiking trails, glacial ribbon lakes, rugged fells, charming small villages, and outstanding beauty, has been a favorite of hikers and vacationers longing to escape for over a century. Its beauty and serenity inspired both William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, and in 1951, it became England’s second protected National Park. This trip starts in the Southern Lakes, finishes in the Northern Lakes and meanders through the heart of The Lake District. Along the way, we visit England’s highest peak and hike off the beaten trail. We’ll visit some quintessential lookout points, explore a dramatic cave nestled under the hills, and stop by a local pub or two.
This trip is an excellent choice for women in very good physical condition with prior hiking experience. We have rated this trip a 4 as we will hike 5 to 8 hours a day with significant elevation gain and loss on several days, on paths that can be boggy, rocky, smooth and/or slippery.
