Very fond memories of the Lake District on my visit to England in the late '90s. I grew up on Arthur Ransome's wonderful books so the area was especially meaningful for me. It did not disappoint.

I'd say the Lake District is the most beautiful part of England. Much of the Southwest Coast Path is also very picturesque.

The lake District is stunning. My favourite place in the UK, by far, is Old Dungeon Ghyll. The perfect escape from life. No phone signal, good company, good beers and in winter, A HUGE roaring log fire. Perfection!

Look at Northumberland. Holy island, bamborough castle. Gorgeous! In the last video on the Romans they were walking Hadrian’s wall which decides Northumberland from Scotland.

The Lake District is often very crowded in summer. The narrow, twisting, rural country lanes aren't designed for heavy traffic. If you're going in summer, book accommodation well in advance.

Love the Lakes and Dales but, for me it's the Forest of Bowland. Etched into my life by many trips out there with mum and dad as a young boy.

I managed the Haweswater Hotel for about 18 months, spectacular setting throughout the year, winter was truly wonderful to see the snow all around on the tops, we got snowed in a couple of times and sadly had to put our feet up in front of the open fire as guests couldn't get there.

To see more of the Lake District check out some of the Coast to Coast KZbin clips. The route starts at St Bees and ends on the other side of the country in Robin Hoods Bay, a total of 195 miles. I have walked it twice, first when I was 25 the next when I was 40. Ten days is the average time it takes to walk the full 150 miles. For me the favourite place is Borrowdale, just soutth of Keswick, second favourite is Ennerdale.

You'd also love Wales in the North you have Snowdonia that is similar to the lake District but higher & a Slate mine,Both you access on Railways,Snowdon is Britains only Funicular rack & pinnion steam railway,in the South is Pembrokeshire that is truly senic & everywhere their are Castles.

If you go to the Lake District, remember it rains a lot there so go prepared. I went a long time ago and it rained non stop for 4 days, whereupon we left because we had enough. We went on to North Wales and enjoyed several days of lovely sunshine.

With out a doubt my favorite place in the Lake District is Buttermere but I love all the rest as well having visited many times including the Castle which I think has one of the best views in all the Lakes from its boundary wall

Did you notice at the beginning they said 16 million visitors a year. It is not a very big area - That would be a good reason to plan your visit before or after the school holidays. You can do that because you home-school your children. Lake Coniston is great - it was the basis of the books about the Swallows and Amazons, and also Lake Windermere has connections with Swallows and Amazons. there have been films and videos on KZbin. Enjoy your visit.

Been to Lake District quite a few times. I live an hour away. It is a very large area and so much to do and see. You can rent a lodge in ullswater which I did for a week. Just beautiful getting up and walking out into the beautiful nature. Also went rowing and took the ferry and mountain climbing. Will be going back soon. There are lots of beautiful tea rooms, cosy cafes etc. If you consider renting a lodge (very reasonable price) and staying awhile I would recommend you book well in advance because the lodges do get booked quite fast unless it’s winter time.I would say it’s one of a number of beautiful places to visit in England.

If you want to watch / react to a good video about the super natural goings on at Muncaster castle, may I recommend the 90's UK TV show strange but true, its a series of well document unexplained events in the UK complete with interviews with eye witnesses and reenactments of their accounts. Used to be a really good show, on prime time ITV, it was narrated by Michael Aspel a big name in British television in the 80's and 90's
