This summer if your plans don’t involve visiting London to watch the 2012 Olympic Games, then why not head up to the Lake District for a caravan holiday.
The Lake District is one of the most popular locations in England for caravanners thanks to the beautiful scenery that surrounds this mountainous region.
It also promises tranquility and a relaxed pace of life that you won’t find in London and the surrounding area between July 27th and August 12th, when more than two million people are expected to descend on the capital for the much-anticipated sporting event.
If you’d prefer to drop the track from ‘track and field’ and just enjoy the field instead, then a day trip to Rothay Garden in Grasmere could be just the thing, offering Olympic-quality walks on the surrounding fells.
You’ll also be able to try sailing on Lake Windermere or Ullswater and mountain-biking in Whinlatter Forest.
Alternatively, just set up a couple of deck chairs in the shade of your caravan awning and enjoy the beautiful summer in one of England’s most exquisite areas of natural beauty.
