Lake District — England’s Natural Escape
Welcome to Uniquely Yours Ireland's Lakes District blog! We're excited to share our love and knowledge of this amazing region with you.
The Lake District is a place of quiet beauty and dramatic landscapes, with mirror-like lakes, rolling hills, and stone villages. It’s England’s outdoor playground.
The Lake District has 16 major lakes, though only one, Bassenthwaite Lake, officially has "Lake" in its name; the others are called "waters" or "meres". These main bodies include Windermere, Ullswater, Derwentwater, Coniston Water, and Wastwater, among others, making it England's premier lake region.
