500 million years of geological
Processes have produced within the Lake District a stunning landscape of mountains and lakes of great scenic beauty
It's the largest national park in England and Wales and a UNESCO World Heritage Site
many of the geographical features in the Lake District are the result of periods of glaciation the most recent of which ended only
15,000 years ago
Retreating glaciers carved out the huge smooth u-shaped valleys steep sharp ridges and impressive lakes
which characterized this landscape it has England's highest mountain and
deepest and longest lake
It is covered with forests and farms tiny quaint villages and priests little towns
It's famous for its lakes mountains classic food
Tea and cake really good ice cream and cheap on the road
Because there are a lot of sheep a lot of them
Pharming and in particular sheep farming has been the major industry in the region since Roman times and Lenz at that iconic. Look
features such as dry stone walls
are there as a result of sheep farming forestry is also great importance and
Also, it just looks really really nice
When my mother was just a few weeks old my grandparents bought a holiday house in Little Valley and came for weekends and holidays
until they retired here we would come up to visit them every
School holiday for weeks at a time and at Christmas the whole family stayed together all of my arm tears all of my cousins
Yes, that's a lot of cousins and a lot of presents
The latest rake seemed like a magical dream place to me and every time we left I could hardly him believe it was real
I loved it so much
It's been a very popular area for a long time however since the end of the 18th century
In
1778 Thomas West produced a guide to the lakes which began the era of modern tourism
William Wordsworth published his guide to the lakes in
1810 now called a guide through the district to the lakes in the north of England, which is not necessarily long title
This book was particularly influential in popularizing the region
This year
We'll come up with various family members including our little baby nephew and we're staying there Ambleside which is at the very tip of Wyndemere
Due to those repeated glaciations we mentioned earlier
most of you shaped valleys contain elongated legs
Occupying sizeable bedrock colors often with tracks of relatively flat ground at their heads which is where you'll find little towns
Smaller lakes such as talents can be found at higher elevations
It's the abundance of both which has led to the area becoming known as the late district
The UK's largest conservation organization the National Trust started here in 1895
Previously conservation had only cared about the land but now houses were cared for too
The National Trust owns about a quarter of the total area fellate district including some lakes and land of significant landscape value
House we're staying in Skakel woods
Which is not an easy thing to spell and I may be saying it incorrectly is a house of significant beauty
Built in 1899 in the Arts and Crafts style. It has many original features
And their darling so we have arrived at her destination and we're staying in the most wonderful beautiful house
Even though I did think that we were almost going to destroy the car on the way up here from handle side
That was one hell of a path. I must say
I'm going to show you around the house
So as you can tell the house is incredibly old and this is its original
Porch way the one that we just came in through is modern and it has look at these doors
Absolutely, stunning and everything
And
Through here we have the living room
So in this fireplace we're going to hopefully light fire tonight and sit around and chat read our books or something
I'm really into my latest for Gregory, but the room continues on and here there are
one
two
three
four
Sofas in here and another window seat here. This is my favorite little seat in the whole house
We're after the living room
Into the main hallway through here
Is the kitchen, dining room, new kitchen
Here the games room
And this is our bedroom
Gorgeous these are sleigh bed, right the sleigh bed it tilts this way and here it tilts that way
that way it's a smooth but
I've got my clothes already enough to own a mirror.
Hi Me, this is where I'm going to do my makeup
window seats out into the garden
and
This extra bed and this extra birth, which is now the equipment bed
Back in the three-way whole section part again
Forwards this is the dining room
No from the dining room into the kitchen
Back in the hallway. There's beautiful doors now going up the stairs
Even more bedrooms around this corner
Looking out her stuff
Lilly... the room that we're about to enter is most definitely my favorite
Expect it's so gorgeous. It has a beautiful canopy.
Oh, who doesn't want a four post bed
The funny thing is the last time we stayed in the lakes
They said in this be useful at a cottage and it was so perfect and it had everything that we needed
And the dogs really loved it and had a garden that was really safe for them to play in
so they really enjoyed it and had a great time and
I loved it that Oh who's about like it was a bit small more. There was a bit all over the place
that we are staying now
Stunning clearly. There's always a but, because we were going around all the different bedrooms and
it's like that's not quite right for this and that and who isn't my right because of this and I realized
But is it it's not the cottage it's lovely, but it's not the cottage
It's not my home and that made me feel
Wistful to realize that I suppose. Yeah. I've been coming here almost 30 years now
For all of my life. I've been going out of my life and things changed the little shops change
But the cottage can never changed. It's always fixed in my memory
I doesn't matter because every time we come to the Lake District, I'm always picturing it in my mind
I'm always picturing that that's where I'm going and maybe because we moved when I was little but that always it was the one
Constant building in my life. I hope someday that I have that feeling with another building with the building
I can actually go to very regularly
How did the joy at the latest rate is that at last for a holiday
Whatever type you choose from active hiking and exercise to quiet retreats
Look at that bicep
You have such huge muscle
Whether you like climbing mountains or wandering through old villages there's surely something to do
Even if you're not much of a walker, but still enjoys stroll in nature
There are several very easy books that could be done with the buggy, which is essentially a glorified Zimmer frame
All of this beauty is very inspirational of course and many famous poems writings and paintings have been inspired by the Lakeland
William Wordsworth poem "Have wandered lonely as a cloud"
Inspired by the sight of daffodils and the shores of Oz water remains one of the most famous in the English language
other famous creatives inspired by the late district includes Haniel Coolidge Arthur Ransome, John Ruskin
JMW Turner LS Lowry and of course Beatrix Potter
So a thing happened
We were so really careful all the way all the time
We're in the Lake District and Claud put my special walking boots on whenever we were going over anything in any way
But yeah to like support your ankles and you know
Like ready for all terrain and there's other like different sort of stones and cobbles like , she put them on me
I can't put them on myself and we took a lot of consideration on whether she could do
Certain walks that my family we're gonna be doing or not doing so for instance like for my sister's birthday
We had the planned walk like a three and a half mile walk to a pub which try things like lovely
So I was like I really want to do that. Yay
Deserving of my pint and so on
But we were like like I thinking more sure you sure we need she would do that. should we not do that
we thought you've already got one way but not both ways even one way I
I'm not entirely sure who thought I could I do. Basically I was comparing it to walking around shopping malls in Malaysia
I was like, it would be a bit like walking around the shopping mall all day
We decided to drop Jessica off at the pub first and via a car
Then we walked to meet her and then you got a taxi home with my dad. Yeah
It was no walking for me. It's been really careful the whole time
We considered what Jessica could and can do and then we got home
Jessica kinda was helping me with bags and unpacking out the car, and then I twisted my ankle on the pavement outside our own house
Yeah, literally 2 meters from our front door since I went to this really rough outdoors terrain up north
Walking through boots, polls. Its real difficult pavement. We had all the gear
First aid kit. It's the most kind of like that's always the way isn't it. Yeah. I am prepared...
I'm prepared it just sucks because we were so
Careful in the Lake District. Yeah when we're on our walk. My sister was like
Its a shame Jessica couldn't come with us
I was like, yeah, but you know
This really would have been way too hard for like even as considering her going one way was not a suitable
I'm so glad that we decide to no look you're disabled
You're not gonna go in this three and a half mile walk
And you know, I was like, yeah, I forget about her disabilities because she's like so well
It's sort of she like did I say hidden a lot of the time are they and I was like, yeah, but you know
She is blind in one eye
So she has no depth perception, so she doesn't really know where she's placing her foot
She can't actually have sensory feedback of where she's placing her feet because of her nerve
Condition and then on top of that she has like a left foot drop say like, you know
It kind of drags that one along a bit and oh, yeah, she's deaf
So her balance is all completely off set and like, you know, even if she gets her foot in the right place
She probably gonna fall over for no apparent reason dude. My sister was just like oh
Yeah
She's really like disabled.
Yeah, that's why we need to remind ourselves that you can't just go on a three and a half mile walk
Yeah Just because everyone else is and I get a little bit like I wish you could come to the gym with me
Does not go to the gym. It's all a lie
But I wish I was one nice fitness freaks. It's never going to happen
I'm not the one stopping here. You are I signed up to yoga class tonight, and he made me ganz licks
He said I'd be too tired. How do you feel right now?
Yeah, I am kind of glad I am not...
Just happy sipping my actually, know your limitations
Yeah, and then you'll be able to enjoy yourself to the fullest, communicate them to others around you and watch out
