Country Walking  |  August 2017
THE LAKE DISTRICT
If there is any part of the country that really needs the help of this Secret Issue, it’s surely the Lake District. Mountainous but compact; beautiful and accessible; doused in history and heritage from Wordsworth to Benjamin Bunny: it packs more spectacular landscape and more cultural magnetism into one smallish area than any other corner of the nation. But that doesn’t mean it has been entirely robbed of quiet places. Believe it or not, there are hills, lakes, even whole valleys that you can have to yourself, even on the busiest of summer weekends. To find them you need to speak to locals, to the people who live, work and wander among the fells of Lakeland all the time. So we did. They took some persuading, but these Lakeland alumni have all revealed the places where they go to find peace and quiet. So lift the lid, read on and don’t tell anyone else!
