Last year England's Lakes District was designated a World Heritage Area. It is beautiful albeit over run by tourists in some of the small towns.
Walking in the footsteps on Sheryl's ancestors on a 6.5km walk along a disused railway line and public footpaths near Broughton-on-Furness near where we are staying on the southern edge of the Lakes District. Sheryl has a lot of history around here.
In the heart of the Lakes District - a 9km walk around the lakes of Grasmere and Rydal, where William Wordsworth lived.
Check out this fence up on the mountainside.
Oak trees are amazing
There were a couple of large caves above Rydal Water.
Grasmere, nearing the end of our walk. We rewarded ourselves with iced coffee and shopping.
We also went to see Mamma Mia: Here we go again at the quaint old art deco cinema in Ulverston. It was raining. They had an old fashioned intermission halfway through the movie with a fellow selling snacks in the cinema.
Tomorrow, weather permitting, we are planning to walk up Scafell Pike. This is a big one - England's tallest mountain!
