2020 Aug The Lake District
The moment we arrived in the Lake District, everything slowed down. Rolling green hills, mirror-like lakes, and endless walking trails — it’s pure magic for anyone who loves nature. We spent our days exploring Windermere and Ambleside, and evenings watching sunsets that painted the sky in gold.
Whether you’re hiking Scafell Pike, boating on Derwentwater, or simply enjoying tea by a roaring fire, the Lake District soothes the soul.
