  1. A Stay In The Lake District #5

    Friar’s Crag & Strandshag Bay.

    After our clockwise boat trip around Derwentwater, we had a break for lunch at Treeby’s Café on Lake Road. It’s a lovely eating place sited on the ground floor beneath the Treeby and Bolton Gallery, accessible either through the gallery or via the entrance on Lake Road.

    We then returned to the lakeside to take a look at Friar’s Crag, a small promontory overlooking the lake and Strandshag Bay and giving distant views of the jaws of Borrowdale.

  6. Furness Abbey Medieval Fair

    On Saturday, September 5, 2026, The Mereland Chronicles will be featured at the Furness Abbey Medieval Fair in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria - right in the neighbourhood that inspired the novel’s setting.

    pjscribbans.co.uk/2026/08/30/f

  7. This really easy #LakeDistrict walk on the Uldale Fells provides some great views including the Solway Firth & the Scottish hills beyond & a view of Skiddaw few see, with the benefit of escaping the crowds. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

    More Lake District walks at happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  8. Also extremely accurate in the fact that the lake at Coniston is actually called Coniston Water. #lakedistrict

  9. Another #LakeDistrict dog rescue by MRT. This time it's Kendal MRT who stretchered an injured dog (and their uninjured owner😃) off the fell.

  10. This #LakeDistrict walk on Gowbarrow Fell provides fabulous views along Ullswater, without a massive amount of climbing. Excellent views of Blencathra (Saddleback) & the famous Sharp Edge. Ends with impressive waterfall Aira Force plus minor falls. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  11. A dog missing for nearly three weeks, has been rescued in the #LakeDistrict.

    Teddy went missing on the 2nd August after disappearing on Helvellyn.

    On Friday (21st August) volunteers were out searching for him, when they heard Teddy barking from Dry Gill.

  12. Lake District: A Family Road Trip Through Ullswater, Kirkstone Pass & Ambleside

    The Lake District National Park is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful parts of Northern England. I had already visited the area once with friends, so this time, taking my family there was almost a must. One of the advantages of visiting the same place more than once is that it never really feels like the same place. Different weather, different seasons and different routes can completely change the experience. Besides, there were still quite a few places I had not explored during my […]

  13. The #LakeDistrict hill Whitbarrow (which means white hill) is a limestone plateau which looks like an escapee from the Yorkshire Dales. It is relatively little known and a way of escaping the crowded main fells & sometimes bad weather. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  14. For you #LakeDistrict Wainwright conquerers, a pretty cool way of recording your progress in an easy, ornamental display on this Wainwright Fells 'Completed' Map. Put a red peg in as you complete each one. Make a good birthday/Christmas present maybe. See etsy.com/uk/listing/4411000359

  15. From the blog: We have always tended to visit the Lake District at Easter or during the summer. This was our first visit in October and the autumn colors did not disappoint. #lakedistrict #travel

  16. The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel at Great Langdale now have a live streaming #LakeDistrict #webcam here odg.co.uk/webcam looking south over their car park towards Side Pike and Pike of Blisco.

    We've added it to our webcam page which you can find here walklakes.co.uk/webcams.html

  17. This #LakeDistrict walk follows a ridge to visit ‘The Dodds’: Stybarrow Dodd, Watson’s Dodd and Great Dodd. Also Clough Head, looking directly at Blencathra, across the valley. There is no climbing/scrambling or difficult terrain on this walk. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  18. Scafell Pike in the #LakeDistrict and the highest peak in England is on most hikers’ bucket lists. This route from Wasdale Head is probably the shortest. Fabulous views. Please park responsibly & be properly equipped. Weather can change quickly! See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  19. From the blog: The Lake District National Park has been one of my happy places for a good number of years, here are some highlights from my recent visit. #lakedistrict #travel

  20. This easy walk on the quiet edge of the #LakeDistrict provides some great views including the Solway Firth & the Scottish hills beyond & a lesser seen view of Skiddaw. There is an ancient extensive earthwork to examine and an unusual statue. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  21. On this day in 1974, Emily Redmund from Cumberland spoke to the BBC about fell-talk, a dialect spoken in the Lake District in northern England.

    The clip is from a BBC magazine television programme called Nationwide, originally broadcast 23 July 1974.

  22. The Lake District has an abundance of hills, lakes (of course), woodland, beautiful countryside, cosy pubs... and waterfalls 🏞

    We already want to go back! 😊

  23. This weekend, we had a wonderful time in Coniston. Walking is so much more enjoyable when you are surrounded by breathtaking scenery 🏞

    I've been fortunate to travel to many far-flung places, but the Lake District, which is less than a two-hour drive from where we live, is one of the most beautiful places on Earth 🌍

  24. We had a really nice day out today at the Bluebird K7 Festival. We saw it in the water and we heard the jet engine power up (loud!) but they had a technical problem then the conditions got too rough. But great to see it on Coniston again

  25. Sitrep: sat on the banks of Lake Coniston drying my sock after misjudging the depth of a stream 😂

  26. Classic Lake District road scene, looking down Thirlmere from the A591 near Castlerigg on a showery day.
    <confession> In the original the sky was badly over-exposed, so I used photoshop to replace it with a sky with a similar feel but not so glaringly white. Original in comments. #LakeDIstrict #Photography #AI #Photoshop #Thirlmere #Landscape #LandscapePhotography

  27. A Brief Moment of Sun, Raven Crag

    Raven Crag catches a rare shaft of sunlight, and frankly it has earned it. This brooding giant overlooks the foot of Thirlmere Reservoir and has been stopping writers in their tracks for generations. They have called it everything from “vertical white walls” and a “chiselled face furred with conifer” to a “gigantic round tower” that ...

  32. Posing Practice

    One thing I don't do enough of is posing and people photography.

    Something I want to get a lot better at this autumn

    Lens: Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD on a Fujifilm X-T30

  33. Another favourite image from my 30+ year photographic career. Continuing with UK landscape, this is the summit of Swirl How in the Coniston Fells of the Lake District.
