North England
North England has one of the most dramatic, scenic landscapes in Britain and boasts heritage cities such as York and Chester. Holiday cottages provide a means of exploring and appreciating this picturesque and characterful region and offer an alternative to the usual types of North England holiday accommodation.
The counties that make up the North West include Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria.
The Lake District is the North's most notable region and is set mostly in Cumbria. It has 16 major lakes that vary in size, from
Lake Windermere which stretches over 10 miles in length to the tiny Brothers water. Holiday cottages and self catering breaks are very popular in these parts.
Northumberland,
Durham and
Yorkshire form part of the North Western reaches. They played a significant role in the Industrial Revolution producing iron ore and coal. Despite their contribution to the United Kingdom's industrial might, much of these wild hills and valleys remain unscarred and are among the largest tracts of unspoilt countryside in England.
The Pennines which stretch from Derbyshire to the northern parts of Northumberland provide some of
the finest walking country in the UK - the flat-topped limestone hills of Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough Hill are popular destinations for ramblers and hikers.
