Book a Holiday in the Lake District and Raise Big For Your Cause

Fancy a break from everyday life surrounded by stunning scenery? Head to the Lake District for your 2017 staycation instead of paying a fortune to get to similar scenery in far-flung places!

It’s not surprising that the Lake District has inspired countless poets and artists, with its rolling hills and expansive lakes. The Lakes offer a beautiful and romantic setting for a relaxing yet energising staycation, where you can go roaming the hills, visit country pubs and visit its historic sites.

Booking a staycation in the Lake District the easyfundraising way could help you raise up to £39 in free donations for your good cause!

Lake Windermere is England’s most famous and largest lake and a must-visit on your staycation! The lake is ten and a half miles long and 219 foot deep, with a range of attractions, places of interest, and things to do.

Your staycation could be pretty action-packed at Windermere – go boating or sailing on the lake or hire bikes and take in the views of the stunning surrounding areas. There’s also a Lakeside steam railway for train enthusiasts.

Enjoy a picnic in Fell Foot Park, a pretty Victorian park that’s been restored beautifully where you can even hire rowing boats.
