Lakeland - Cumbria home of the Lake District National park
Lake District - A lake canoeists guide
|
| Cumbria is home to The Lake District National Park which contains an abundance of mountains, lakes and rivers. Thousands come and experience this beautiful part of the world. Many climb the fantastic mountains to enjoy the stunning views, though few experience this from a canoe or kayak which gives a different perspective and one worth experiencing |
| Windermere is England's largest and most famous lake stretching 10.5 miles from Fell Foot in the South to Ambleside at the north end. There is great exploration and journeying potential on Windermere and now without any fast boats to ruin the tranquillity! |
| Ullswater connects Pooley Bridge with the villages of Glenridding and Patterdale and is overlooked by Striding Edge and Helvellyn. One of our favorites! |
| Coniston Water is the home of Swallows & Amazons and Donald Campbell's Blue Bird water speed record attempts. Stunning views of Coniston Old Man & Wetherlam! |
| Derwent Water by Keswick in the North is a jem and blessed with a variety of islands for exploring. 360 degree mountain views all day long! |
| Thirlmere is actually a reservoir but still classed as a lake and if you are looking for solitude then this is the place to go - great parking and easy launching within 30 metres! |
| The lakes above are fantastic for canoeing and kayaking and a great way to enjoy the Lake District. Public launch sites are free to use for accessing each of these Lakes .National Trust members can also benefit from free parking in NT car parks. We can provide, free of charge, laminated maps and give you some ideas for the best areas to explore on the above mentioned lakes. |
