More about the trip
The
The Lake District is full of mountains (England's 5 tallest), lakes
(England's longest, widest and deepest) and loads of lovely little
villages. We think it is the most beautiful place in England!
It has inspired famous poets and writers
like William Wordsworth (he was an English Romantic poet) and Beatrix Potter
(she wrote the
books about little bunny rabbits and things, and Renee Zellweger
starred in the film). We're going to spend the day up a mini mountain
and down by the biggest lake in England.
