We begin exploring Lake District by showing some of the beautiful town of Kendal. Kendal was our home during our time in Lake District & we're so glad we chose it. It's at the very base of the Lake District, however it provided the perfect jumping off point for the trek north.
We stopped first at an iconic coffee shop called Farrer's Tea & Coffee House. Farrer’s has been been in business since 1819, so we felt like these people probably knew what they’re doing. We sipped on our coffee while walking over to the famous Kendal Castle. These are now ruins, but It’s been here since the 12th century when the Baron of Kendal resided here & while it’s obviously no longer anyone’s residence with the exception of maybe a few birds, it still offers a cool glimpse into Kendal’s past, as well as a great view of the town.
From Kendal we made the drive through Windermere to the small Lake District village of Ambleside. Like Kendal & Windermere, it has a cute town center with no shortage of stops. It’s also nearby to Wray Castle & Hill Top, which was Beatrix Potter’s home. Beatrix Potter is the author of the Tales of Peter Rabbit. She’s a massive part of the history in Lake District. While in Ambleside we stopped by Bridge House. It was constructed in the 17th century and has somehow withstood the test of time & the weather of Northern England. It’s a quirky little building & we felt like we had to see it.
Now that we’d done a bit of exploring some towns, we wanted to step into the outdoors as Lake District has no shortage of incredible trails & hikes. Just down the road from Ambleside is Rydal Cave & Loughrigg Fell. While Rydal Cave is man-made, it’s still such a cool place to explore. It’s a former slate quarry located on the slopes of Loughrigg Fell & serves as a fun little side adventure from climbing Loughrigg Fell. Loughrigg Fell is a 335 meter hill that offers some spectacular views of the area. While it’s obviously not the largest mountain in the area, a lot of people have said that this has the most beautiful views & isn’t too strenuous. We unfortunately didn't make it all the way to the top due to some construction on the path, but it still gave some pretty spectacular views of the lake below.
After the hike we made our way to probably the most popular town in Lake District, Keswick. You can spend a ton of time just wandering around the town center & lake front, but we did that a few days ago & decided we wanted to visit the Pencil Museum. This may come as a surprise, but the pencil was created here way back in 1832! It’s also home to the largest colored pencil so for 5 pounds each, we felt like it was worth the cost of admission to see! We toured the museum & took the fun test they give you before making our way to our other stop in Keswick.
We drove up the hill to the nearby to visit the Castlerigg Stone Circle. It was constructed as a part of a megalithic tradition that lasted from 3,300 to 900 BC, during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages. This stone circle offers spectacular views of the valley & you can easily see why these early humans felt the locations significance. This is a must-stop if you're ever in Lake District.
We ended the day by grabbing dinner & pints at Kirkstone Pass Inn. This pub sits at 1,481 feet, making it the 3rd highest pub in all of England. The drive up to the Inn is not for the faint of heart, but the reward is a great pint with spectacular views. We can't recommend stopping here enough!!
Thank you so much for tuning in & see you in a few days for our next stop! Also, feel free to like & subscribe if you enjoyed the content as it helps us tremendously!

I´m from spain and when I was 19 years old I spent one summer in windermere working as a kitchen porter at the windermere hotel in order to learn english .Back in that time there was no internet in 2000 and I had to call my parents from a phone box to let them konw I was ok.Me and the rest of the hotel staff used to spend friday and saturday nights at the wheelhouse club in bowness ,amazing disco.What a great memories,I tried indian food for the first time and fish and chips and I could not speak a word of english, I dunno How I managed.....great video ! Saludos from Malaga

[@COMEINTOMYWORLD]

What a great story and memories to have. I went to the Lake District as a teenager and loved it and stayed in in the Wordsworth town of Cockermouth.

[@ProbablyLost]

That's incredible!! We had actually never really tried Indian food before we arrived in England too. There's such a huge Indian influence on the cuisine & it was something we never expected, but we're so glad it is. It's only reaffirmed our desire to visit India in the future. Thanks so much for tuning in & enjoy that beautiful Malaga sunshine!!!😊

[@ProbablyLost]

It's such a beautiful part of the country & we felt like we couldn't pass it up! Although now we've googled Cockermouth to see what it looks like & feel like we have to plan another trip up there so that we can visit it because it looks so nice! You could spend a month in Lake District & probably not see it all. There's just so much beauty in that region.

Were you aware that Beatrix Potter was also a Champion sheep breeder, in addition to writing the World famous children's books? She owned around 4000 acres of the Lake District, along with around a dozen hill farms. She became a good friend of Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley, who founded the National Trust..... She left her home, land and the farms she owned, to the National Trust on her death in 1943..... Well done to both of you for coming from the US, and not just seeing London, thinking that was all Britain had to offer...👍👍

[@ProbablyLost]

We didn't know that!!! There's so much that we realized we had no clue about when we first arrived in Lake District. You're totally right though. Most Americans travel to England & really only explore London or the Cotswolds before venturing north to Scotland. We always tell people that we had a great time in London, but didn't truly fall in love with England until we got to the north. We didn't film it, but we had a few days were we would just spend all day exploring around Yorkshire Dales & felt like we'd uncovered this huge secret that nobody in America knew about. Northern England is honestly Trey's FAVORITE place in Europe & we can't wait to get back up there. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video Brian!! It means the world to us!!:)

@@ProbablyLost I found it disappointing that the Miss Potter film, starring Rene Zellweger made absolutely no reference to the sheep breeding part of Beatrix Potter's life. Still, it's not really movie worthy I guess. I did enjoy the movie though, and I thought Rene's English accent was pretty damn good! But yes, Beatrix Potter became a leading authority on sheep breeding in the Lake District, and was often asked to judge at agricultural shows, such was her vast knowledge. Oh, and it's still the same printing company who continue to print Beatrix Potter's books...... She was turned down by a number of companies - one of whom said her books were a waste of time and would never sell - before she found a company willing to give her books a go! As you know, it worked out rather well. If you come to England again, try North Yorkshire. It's a bit like the Lake District, but without the lakes, although the scenery is equally as spectacular as the Lakes. Have you by any chance heard of or read the James Herriot books, about a veterinary in Yorkshire, back in the 1930's? There have been a couple of TV series about James Herriot ( All Creatures Great & Small). P.S. I'll never forget the day I met 4 Japanese girls in a hire/rental car. They were lost, and were looking for Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's cottage. At least one of them was tightly clutching her Peter Rabbit book, and all 4 of them were visibly excited and elated at being so close to finding what they were looking for!!

Brilliant video 👌 my favorite part of the UK along with Cornwall, looks like you had a great time 👍😍

[@ProbablyLost]

It was stunning! I feel like our biggest regret from this trip was not making it to Cornwall. There's just SO MUCH to see in Great Britain!

[@jackasnacks]

You pronounced everything correctly :)

[@ProbablyLost]

This is a MASSIVE step in the right direction as you probably know😂😂 Although we'll be back to mispronouncing everything the moment we're out of England!!!😅

[@ProbablyLost]

@@janminor1848 That's certainly the dream!!! We're in Europe for the year & have our sights set on Asia/Australia/New Zealand next year if we can, but after that would certainly be Africa & South America!!! The world is just so big & there's so much to see!!

Thank you so much Eric!!! Our videos are normally a couple of weeks behind where we actually are so right now we're in Vienna, Austria!!

Although right now we're looking at potentially doing another long roadtrip series later in the year through Italy so stay tuned!!😆
