It’s the sort of place where you accidentally buy lots of little kitschy souvenirs because it’s all just so enticing.īowness is another nice town that sits along Lake Windermere. I love walking around the streets of the little town and discovering new-to-me cafes and boutique shops.
Windermere has lovely cozy pubs, nice cafes for coffee and cakes, and ample street parking. I usually head here for a day trip, park my car, and walk around the lake and town for hours. The town of Windermere is also a wonderful place to explore. Lake Windermere is by far the most popular lake to explore in the Lake District. I loved being able to shop for local goods all under one roof. There are gorgeous little boutique shops inside where you can find local wool products, locally made pottery, and then head for a movie, too. On my most recent visit to Penrith, I headed to the Rheged Centre where we got to hang out with Santa and shop for local Lake District beers, whiskeys, and desserts. It has stunning old stone buildings, really great pubs, a train station to get you in and out with ease, and an incredible set of ruins right in the middle of it all.ĭuring the summer months, all of the towns in the Lake District are flooded with tourists, so I prefer to come in the shoulder months, especially to a town like Penrith where there is still plenty to do when the temperature drops and the rain pours down. Penrith was the first of the large towns in the Lake District that I visited. Here’s why I love each and every one of these little Lake District towns. Some give easy access to the water and great walks while others are tiny little villages with the best breweries around. These seven towns are my favorite for different reasons. It’s a haven for artisans and over the last four years that I’ve been visiting, new places crop up each time. I think my favorite thing about the lakes is just how many great small businesses there are to support. I love exploring the natural beauty of the area and enjoying all of the different things to do in Lake District like visiting the old market towns, drinking at the cozy pubs, and going on walks around all of the different lakes. Luke has family up there so we can explore the region for days on end, usually during the quiet winter months.
Every time I go back to the UK I have the opportunity to visit different towns in the Lake District.
