During the summer months the Lake District comes into its own. There’s nothing quite like a visit to a lake when the weather warms up, while the national park’s impressive fells look even better against bright blue cloudless skies.
The vast expanses of Windermere and Ullswater probably spring to mind first, yet the smaller lakes are definitely worth visiting too. Situated in the heart of the Lake District is the small but perfectly formed Grasmere Water, along with a village of the same name.
Grasmere village itself is one of the prettiest locations in the Lake District. It’s full of slate-coloured coloured cottages, tea rooms and shops and its winding roads are just asking to be explored.
