The Lake District

Well you've already heard about our driving saga. My recommendation is to get away from the cities. The landscape and driving feels a bit like being in the Colorado Rockies except that it's greener. Now don't get me wrong, it's not as high, but it's dramatic. Instead of brush, you have ferns everywhere. And in some places extremely soft, cushy grass.

These pictures are from the area around Derwentwater near Keswick:




Honister Pass


From the Slate Mine at Honister Pass
You can take tours and eat if you want.


Buttermere




Castlerigg Stone Circle
It's actually free to park and see (that's rare)


In some of these photos you might see a hint of purple on the hills--it's not quite the same intensity in this area as it was when we drove over the moors. Turns out it's heather, not lavender as I incorrectly stated in a previous blog. Maybe the good news for us is that heather seems to have a longer bloom season.
