We’ve visited Tarn Hows countless times over the years, but a recent operation leaving one of us in plaster and on crutches meant a new approach. Thanks to Kevin and the NT team, we borrowed a Trampe…Full review by John D

It was a glorious autumn evening so the scenery was stunning. We've often walked around Tarn Hows but rarely appreciated what a varied walk it is for young children, although worth noting there is a …Full review by Sue B

Are the seats safe to sit on? They look really weathered and fragile

Yes, they are ok! They are just weathered, that's all, but perfectly safe. Carry a folding sittamat in your backpack for such situations and you won't get wet or dirty. If you don't fancy …
Yes, they are ok! They are just weathered, that's all, but perfectly safe. Carry a folding sittamat in your backpack for such situations and you won't get wet or dirty. If you don't fancy a bench picnic, venture into the wooded areas around the lake where you will find plenty of flat, clean rocks to sit on whilst you enjoy the views.
Hi am planning to do a 10 day trip from 23rd Dec’16 to 2nd of Jan’17 covering, a) 1/2 days in lake district (23rd / 24th Dec), b) 3/4 days (25-28) in Edinburgh and c) 3/4 (29th - 2nd) days in London. What are the must do things in each place? Are there any special Christmas events in Edinburgh for which we need to book tickets ahead of time ? Also is it worthwhile to do the highlands / Scotland? Can we cover Edinburgh + Highlands in 3-4 days or need more time? We are planning to drive down from Chester (where i currently work) to Edinburgh – Are there any places that we can see enroute? From there to London, what are the best options for travel - Will travel by train/bus be worthwhile or flight options? Are we missing out by not doing some other places which are better than say Lake District? Sorry for the long list of questions, I am new to UK and would appreciate any help?
A:
Lake District is worth a visit but you will need a car to get around. Country pubs in the Lakes have open fires and are a good place for 'a pie and a pint' but make sure the driver …
