For the absolute in holiday escapes make a beeline for Lake District self catering cottages

For the absolute in holiday escapes make a beeline for Lake District self catering cottages; with almost ninety self catering holiday cottages and small houses in the Lake District, Eden Valley and the west Pennines, visitors to this wonderful corner of England can use one as a base to explore this, the largest national park in the country. However, don’t think for one minute that all the Lake District has to offer is stunning scenery and historic locations (although that is a big boast); rather it is a stunning area of the country where one can meet the great outdoors head on with all terrain cycling, mountain climbing, pot holing and of course rambling along the hundreds of miles of public paths, hillside ways and back lanes.
The entire area has been a magnet for holiday makers and visitors since the early days of the railways which made possible for the residents of the big cities and towns of the industrial revolution era to get away from their drab existence, if only for a day here and there. It was popularised by writes and authors some as well know as Beatrix Potter, Thomas Grey john Keats, Sir Walter Scott and Percy Bysshe Shelley among others; indeed, the pictures painted by their words and writings continues to attract visitors in their tens of thousands every year.
