Last fall I fell in love with the Lake District. I hadn’t visited it before, slightly being put off by the hype around the area. But the truth is that it is an incredibly beautiful part of the UK. So I decided that it would be nice to show my mother, who has never visited the UK, the Lake District in early spring.

My mother and I stayed in the same apartment as I did in october, in the north of the Lake District near the town Keswick. The view from the grounds of the apartment is incredible, even with a bit of rain, so it’s a good location to impress a parent:

The next few photos were made in the garden:

My mother’s favourite spot in the living room:

We took a road trip driving a circle from Keswick to Borrowdale, Buttermere and High Lorton. If you are ever in the area, I can highly recommend this route!

At Ashness Bridge:

Rosthwaite:

Honister pass:

Buttermere:

A short walk from the apartment I found a gate with access to the hill at the foot of Skiddaw mountain. On one quiet morning I had some great views while watching the sun rise:

You cannot visit the Lakes without being confronted with lakes, and to really embrace that we took a boat trip on Windermere:

Close to Windermere is Skelwith Bridge. Next to a lovely river there is also a cafe that serves excellent food, if you can get a table.

On the last morning the conditions were kind of ideal for photography: low fog in the valley, with clear skies. Unfortunately we had to leave early, so there was only time to make some photos from the apartment grounds:

I am sure I will come back to this place, as it is beautiful. If you want to see my photos from the Lake District in fall, visit my posts from last october here and here. I also did a post on the apartment we stayed in: The Conservatory.
