Feel like going away from the city for a few days and spending some time outdoors doing some interesting activities? How about a Lake District walking tour? Taking Lake District walks will boost your energy and will help you get back in shape. There’s nothing like a few hours spent outdoors to lift your spirit and inspire you.

The Lake District in northern England is a great place for adventurers, for those who love nature and wildlife, for families and all who want to spend a few relaxing days in total relaxation. The area comprises over a dozen interesting lakes and ponds which can be visited either by foot, by bicycle or by car. If you’re a nature lover and love hiking, you’ll be pleased to know that you can arrange a Lake District walking tour with a professional guide. Guides are very familiar with all popular sites within the region’s boundaries and can assist you in exploring the wilder and rougher areas.

If you like adrenaline and rocky terrain, you’ll love hiking in Helvellyn – do make sure that you have adequate equipment though. Lake District walks have different grades: some are very easy and are accessible even to children and the elderly, while others are more difficult and require you to be fit. There’s also the possibility of taking a day-long Lake District walking tour – that is if your stamina is high and you enjoy being outdoor for a longer time.

Wildlife lovers should not miss the Grizedale Forest, which is more than abundant with diverse species of animals. Explorers taking Lake District walks in this area are likely to encounter the famous red deer, barn owls, badgers and other such animals. Going on a walk on The Grizedale Sculpture Trail is going to be lots of fun for your group! There’s also the possibility of exploring the area by bike. However, keep in mind that the terrain can be rough in certain regions in the park; unless you’re experimented in mountain biking, you should stick to less challenging routes. Some touristic locations can also be accessed by car, but if you want to truly enjoy your experience in Lake District, it’s best to take Lake District walks; you don’t have to go on a difficult route. Two hours of easy walking to a picnic location or a pretty village will instantly improve your mood and will energize you for the whole day.

During your Lake District walking tour, you can also visit the small villages located near lakes, take cruises or visit museums and other cultural attractions in the area. You can start with the Haig Colliery Mining Museum in Whitehaven, a deep coal mining site that’s become very popular over the years. This museum is open to everyone and has easy access facilities even for the disabled. The Holehird Gardens or the Jesus Church in Troutbeck are also attraction sites you don’t want to miss.
