Bienvenue dans le Lake District

Located in the north west of England, the Lake District, Cumbria, is one of the United Kingdom’s most breathtaking landscapes. Home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - the Lake District National Park and Hadrian’s Wall - it’s famous for its sparkling lakes, dramatic mountains and charming towns and villages, offering the perfect mix of nature, culture and outdoor adventure.

For visitors travelling from France, reaching the Lake District, Cumbria, is simple. Fly into Liverpool John Lennon Airport and within around two hours you can be surrounded by peaceful lakes, rolling fells and spectacular scenery. The journey itself is part of the experience, taking you from a vibrant historic city to one of Britain’s most beautiful national parks. Travel by train with services operated by TransPennine Express and Northern, and easy bus travel around the Lake District thanks to Stagecoach.

Once here, explore scenic walking trails, cruise across lakes, discover traditional pubs and local food, and visit places that inspired writers such as William Wordsworth. Stay a little longer and soak it all in, with fantastic accommodation options ranging from camping and glamping to stylish hotels. Whether you are planning a relaxing short break or an active holiday in nature, the Lake District offers unforgettable experiences in every season.
