Hotels in Lake District, United Kingdom

The Lake District is a mountainous region in northwest England, famous for its 16 glacial lakes like Windermere and the rugged peaks of Scafell Pike. The climate is cool and wet year-round, with mild summers (60-70°F / 15-21°C) perfect for hiking the Cumbria Way trail or kayaking on Coniston Water, and chilly winters (30-40°F / -1 to 4°C) ideal for exploring Beatrix Potter's former home at Hill Top and cozying up in pubs like the Drunken Duck. For drier days, aim for May to September; for fewer crowds and lower prices, visit in November to February.
