Holiday rentals in Cumbria
Cumbria is easily England’s most beautiful county, with the world famous Lake District at its heart. It is also the second largest, and has the largest lakes and highest fells (mountains) to boot. It is dotted with wonderful villages and towns – chock full of holiday rental properties that are used as a base by many of the walkers and explorers that visit this area every year - there's no doubt you'll be able to find a holiday house in Cumbria to suit you. Footpaths are well-marked throughout the National Park – and a good introduction to the Lake District’s National Park Centre can be found at Brockhole, on the shores of Lake Windermere. There are several major towns in Cumbria – Carlisle is its administrative capital and there is even the controversial nuclear waste processing site at Sellafield – but it is for the beautiful scenery the visitors return to their holiday house in Cumbria time and time again. In order to get into the park on foot, a great way to take advantage of this area is to hire a holiday house in Cumbria in a central location and use this as a base for your explorations.

More about your Cumbria holiday...
Towns such as Bowness-on-Windermere, Keswick and Ambleside attract most visitors for this reason as they settle in to prepare themelves for some wonderful walking outside. Otherwise, it can be just as simple to take on a holiday house in Cumbria such as a mountain cottage, or lakeside croft which gives you access to the views from your very doorstep. All in all, taking a holiday house in Cumbria is the very best stepping stone to so many of the highlights of a trip to the Lakes – it is all just a question of how far to go, and what to see while going there!
