Summer is here
As spring becomes firmly established it is natural to start thinking about the summer holidays. The first sighting of a swallow often heralds a frenzy of holiday bookings, be it for holiday cottages in Scotland or for that luxury Mediterranean cruise.
A holiday in the UK is becoming a more attractive option, both with the British and for those from abroad who seek to make the most of the attractive foreign exchange rate. And with beautiful scenery and an extensive coast line the UK offers diversity seldom experienced elsewhere.
With a range of diverse destinations to choose from, deciding where to go can be the most difficult part of the planning stage. One area that always attracts numerous visitors is Cumbria and the Lake District, where walkers and tourists head for every year in their thousands. In towns such as Ambleside Cottages for rent are soon booked each holiday season.
For the less energetic the intriguing towns offer plenty to do and in towns such as Keswick cottages line the narrow streets, nestled between shops. Overlooked by Skiddaw, Britain's fourth largest mountain, ensures plenty of activities for all.
Derwentwater is nearby offering scenic walks and views. Derwent Island House floats on an island and is open to the public five times a year. For holiday makers in Keswick cottages for rent are plentiful, as are bed and breakfasts.
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.
The delights of the Lake District are all within easy access and for those wishing to travel further afield attractions such as Hadrian's Wall, the Pennines and Yorkshire Dales, as well as the attractive Eden Valley are all also close enough to visit in a day.
And contrary to popular opinion, Britain not only offers excellent scenery and places to visit but the sun has been known to shine as well. And for those warm balmy days of summer Britain really does have it all.
