Lake District, United Kingdom

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Lake District is a mountainous region in Cumbria, northwest England, and the country's largest national park, covering around 912 square miles. It's home to England's highest peak, Scafell Pike, and its largest and deepest lakes, including Windermere, Ullswater, and Wastwater. The region is famous for its dramatic fells, glacially carved valleys, and literary heritage — most notably as the home of poet William Wordsworth and the inspiration for Beatrix Potter's stories. Walkers, hikers, wild swimmers, and cyclists flock here year-round, drawn by world-class trails, charming market towns like Keswick and Ambleside, and some of England's most iconic scenery.

Self-Launched Literary Walking in the Lake District

A 6-night self-launched walking holiday through the South Lakes, following in the footsteps of Wordsworth, Ruskin, Beatrix Potter and Arthur Ransome. Base yourself in budget guesthouses and hostels in Grasmere, Coniston and Hawkshead, and walk the same lakeside paths, coffin roads and Cumbria Way sections that Exodus sells as a premium guided self-guided package. You book your own B&Bs, carry your own bag (or use a cheap luggage transfer service), and navigate with free GPX routes or the OS Maps app. Everything is doable independently on trains, buses and your own two feet — same scenery, a fraction of the price.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Lake District, United Kingdom yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
