#5 England’s Lake District: where to buy a home in hikers’ paradise,More info:ft
England’s Lake District is one of the few places in Britain where you cannot only live among mountains but also, on occasion, buy one.
In 2014, you could have picked up Blencathra, a dramatic 2,850ft-peak at the northern edge of the Lake District National Park, for £1.75m. Its owners, the Lowther family, Earls of Lonsdale, were hit with a £9m inheritance tax bill following the death of James, the 7th earl, in 2006. They decided to sell the family mountain.
In the end Blencathra was withdrawn from sale. The money was found elsewhere and the mountain — which Alfred Wainwright, the fell-walking guide author, once called “one of the grandest objects in Lakeland” — remained in family hands, albeit with public access.
Lakeland — more commonly, the Lakes — is world-renowned thanks to the inspiration its landscape has provided for poets and authors. William Wordsworth’s former home in Grasmere remains a place of pilgrimage.
“It is one of the few areas I cover that has international interest,” says Mark Holden of Savills, who works across the north of England. “We have just had a Chinese guy looking at something. It also has national appeal. Potential buyers for one [property] this week came from Cornwall, Kent and Oxford.”
The Lake District National Park covers 900 sq miles and has 16 major bodies of water, the largest being Windermere. It has more than 200 fells, or mountains — defined as any hill more than 2,000ft (609.6 metres) above sea level.

Stunning landscapes
It comes as no surprise that the magnificent Lake District was the inspiration for poets and writers such as William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. The stunning landscape has a magical effect on anyone who drives, cycles or hikes through this region.
The Lake District encompasses 16 lakes and is a big playground for outdoor lovers. But thanks to the region’s rich cultural and literary past, there is plenty to see and do even if running, climbing or hiking are not your thing.
#3 THE BEST OF THE LAKE DISTRICT,More info:cntraveller
A large part of my childhood was spent in the English Lakes, with never a mention of abroad. Other Manchester families went to Europe and even the USA, but to us travel was something that started at junction 19 of the M6 and ended 80 minutes later in Ullswater. Strangely, it never got boring. The multifarious landscape of the Lakes is one of its miracles: mountain passes and tarns; ruddy weeded wild-grass moors and conical pikes; pretty rivers and winter-flooded marshlands and scree dotted with free-roaming Herdwick sheep that look wild as hell; verges of sweet September wild parsley and elderflower and even sweeter posters in bus stops for am-dram productions of Arsenic and Old Lace.
