1. The Lake District, England

The Lakes District

The trend to areas of natural beauty in the UK was kicked off by the announcement earlier this year that the Lakes District in England was to become a UNESCO World Heritage site.

This stunning region in the North West of England is England’s biggest national park and also contains the highest mountain in England, Scafell Pike.

The area has been incredibly well loved by the English for centuries and best known for its fantastic walks and ever changing weather!

There are 14 actual lakes in the Lake District, the largest and best known being Lake Windermere. The area is also filled with very cute English villages such as Hawkshead, Keswick and Grasmere.

In addition to walking there are many options to explore the lakes – from traditional boat trips to kayaking, windsurfing, canoeing and much more.

This is one UK destination you don’t want to miss.
