Northern England
This is the most mountainous part of England, bordering Scotland in the very north and the Midlands to the south. Best known here is the Lake District, with its dramatic scenery and associations with the poet William Wordsworth, among others. Here, too, is Hadrian's Wall, and the area known as the Peak District, with its moors, pretty towns and villages, and great houses like Chatsworth.
Derbyshire & the Peak District
The Peak District is the often inexplicably overlooked area of northern upland England, with the grandeur of the Lake District and the charm
of the Cotswolds. Marvellous scenery, myriad pretty villages and some of the finest houses in Britain, including the magnificent Chatsworth House.
Cumbria & the Lake District
A stunning region of lakes and mountains associated with the poet Wordsworth among others. Moderate walking in some of England's greatest wild scenery.
Coast to Coast
'The brainchild of Alfred Wainwright, the well-known writer and hill-walker, the Coast to Coast Walk crosses three National Parks, undoubtedly some of England's finest scenery. Starting beside the Irish Sea, there is wonderful walking through the mountains of the Lake District, across the Pennines and down Swaledale. The North York Moors await you and beyond them, the east coast.
Hadrian's Wall
Hadrian's Wall is a stone and turf fortification built by the Ancient Romans across what is now northern England. Begun in AD 122, during the rule of emperor Hadrian, it was the middle of three such fortifications built across Great Britain, the first being from the River Clyde to the River Forth under Agricola and the last the Antonine Wall.
