The Lake District is rich with atmospheric pubs and coaching inns, many seemingly unchanged for centuries – and that's their charm. Don't expect sleek looks and fancy sound systems; do expect toasty fires, well-worn chairs, beamed ceilings and a cheery scruffiness. In the remoter villages and dales many have beer gardens with cracking views. Most stock a good range of locally brewed beers, and several hold regular beer festivals.

Follow in the footsteps of Alfred Wainwright and discover the iconic Scafell Pike or Helvellyn, or a gentler fell like Cat Bells For many people, the Lake District is - and only is - about walking. Well, it is almost impossible to step outside without your eyes being drawn to a mountain top. Indeed, the great fell-walker, Alfred Wainwright, identified 214 fells over 1,000 feet (around 300 metres) in the area, which should keep any list-ticker busy for several years.
