The Lake District - The Peaceful Holiday Destination By: But you can make your break even more tranquil and
But you can make your break even more tranquil and therapeutic by choosing the right type of holiday accommodation. Cottage holidays in the Lake District will provide you with the most peace of all, because you will have no one else around. And these rental properties give you a real sense of freedom as well.
If you are renting Lake District cottages, then you can get up at whatever time you like. And when you decide to have your dinner will be entirely down to you. This is all much more appealing than having to shape your days around set breakfasts and evening meals! Besides, who wants to have limits in place when they are spending some time away from home?
Here are a few interesting facts about some of Cumbria’s lakes –
Windermere
Not only is Windermere the ‘daddy’ of the waters in the Lake District, it is also the largest natural mere in the whole of England. And measuring in at a staggering 12 miles long, one mile wide and 220 feet deep it is not difficult to see why this is!
The Kendal and Windermere railway built a line to this lake in 1847 and it has been an incredibly popular destination for tourists ever since. Lake Windermere may be an immense body of water, but it is wholly situated within the boundaries of the Lake District National Park.
Ullswater
This is the second largest of the waters in the Lake District. Ullswater Lake is approximately 9 miles long and three-quarters of a mile wide. Its deepest portion is a little over 197 feet.
Ullswater is considered by many visitors to be the most beautiful lake of all in this region. A lot of people have compared it to Switzerland’s Lake Lucerne.
A large part of Ullswater actually forms the dividing line between the two ancient counties of Cumberland and Westmorland. Because of the surrounding mountains, it has the overall shape of an elongated ‘Z’.
Coniston Water
At five miles long, half a mile wide and 184 feet deep, this is the third largest of the waters in Cumbria’s ‘Lakeland’. In total, this lake covers an impressive area of around 1.89 square miles.
Coniston Water has seen many attempts to break the world water speed record over the year. It is here that the ill-fated Bluebird K7 achieved a top speed of 320 miles per hour in 1966 before crashing and killing its driver, Donald Campbell.
Derwentwater
Derwentwater is so named because it is both fed and drained by the river Derwent.
The lake has a length of three miles, a width of one mile and it is around 72 feet deep.
There are a number of islands within Derwentwater and one of these is inhabited. It is home to (appropriately enough!) ‘Derwent Island House’, a tenanted National Trust property.(read entire article)(posted on: 2010-12-02)
