The English regions: the North West
One of the biggest tourist draws in the country is located in this region – the incredibly scenic but in places over-visited Lake District. Don’t let the possibility of crowds put you off though – you can quite easily get away from them and the scenery is stunning enough to be well worth the effort. Away from the Lakes, the region has two of England’s largest cities, Manchester and Liverpool, and a stretch of coastline beloved of English seaside holiday-makers. Starting with the obvious, the region’s highlights include:~ the Lake District National Park, one of the oldest national parks in the country, with 12 of the largest lakes in England and numerous high peaks to admire or to climb according to will and fitness levels. The scenery here has inspired writers and artists through the centuries (perhaps most notably Wordsworth) and will surely do the same for you.~ specific destinations...
