Welcome to South Lakeland

South Lakeland encompasses two of England's best known National Parks, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. 

Over the years these magnificent mountains and beautiful lakes have inspired many famous writers and artists like William Wordsworth, John Ruskin and Beatrix Potter.

Today we have much more to offer, from world-class attractions and events to top-quality shops, bars and cafes.  The area offers a great variety of accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets.
