Hidden Beauty Spots of the Lake District
You may well be thinking that because of its huge (and completely justified) popularity, there isn’t an inch of the Lake District National Park that hasn’t already been hiked, scrambled, climbed, sailed, visited, or otherwise pored over to within an inch of its life – and to a certain extent, you’d be right. But, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any lesser-known gems to discover – places to escape the crowds, quaint villages off the usual tourist trails, hidden valleys and dramatic caves, tranquil gardens and historic buildings.
