                                       GREAT TRIP
                                       OLIVER BERRY,
                                       WRITER
                                       For classic English scenery, nowhere
                                       quite compares to the Lake District.

                                       With its fells and waterfalls, valleys
                                       and villages, lakes and meadows, it’s
                                       like a postcard that’s come to life.
                                       It’s visited by some 13 million people
                                       every year, but it’s still easy to find
                                       peace and serenity – whether it’s
                                       rowing across a lake, cycling through
                                       the countryside or standing atop
                                       a fell. Pack spare memory cards –
                                       you’ll need them.
