Should I go to Cotswolds or Lake District?


Should I go to Cotswolds or Lake District? No contest - the Lake District every time. The Cotswolds is a perfectly pleasant rural area but no more interesting than many other areas in England and Wales. The Lakes (as they are more commonly known here) are on a different level for me. The Lakes are also much easier to get round for walking without a car.


Why do people love the Lake District?

The Lake District, also known as the Lakes or Lakeland, is a mountainous region in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes, forests, and mountains (or fells), and its associations with William Wordsworth and other Lake Poets and also with Beatrix Potter and John Ruskin.

Negative impacts to the Lake District include congestion, increased house prices, environmental damage, and footpath erosion. Management strategies include traffic management, encouraging public transport, increasing accessibility for housing, and repairing footway paths to reduce erosion.
