We are finally visiting the Lake District, one of the most popular National Parks in the UK and a place that has been recommended frequently by viewers. In this video, we visit Grasmere and try some delicious gingerbread, stroll around the town of Keswick, have afternoon tea in a very cool train, visit the lovely town of Ambleside, and so much more. One of our favorite spots was Buttermere Lake, a beautiful gem with no crowds. The still waters and surrounding fells were incredibly peaceful. We of course also had to visit Windermere, the town that shares a name with Windermere, Florida where we used to live. Overall, we had an amazing time exploring the beautiful Lake District. From the rolling green valleys to the crystal clear waters, it's easy to see why it's one of the most beloved places in the UK.

Let us know in the comments if you have any suggestions for spots to visit next time we're in the area!

    We could see ourselves staying in the Lake District for MUCH longer in the future, so please let us know any suggestions you have. 👀👀 Have you watched our video of the Yorkshire Dales, another wonderful place we recently visited? Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsGVvyb03Rk&t
  • The Derwent Pencil Museum, Keswick. Some people think it’s pointless but I feel it’s a big draw.

    The Ambleside apple store was where the very early computers were made. After the great storm of 1796 the roof was damaged and began to leak. A passing nursery school teacher by the name of Mary Thistletwaithington-blythe saw the danger and rushed to the nearest pub, grabbed as many raincoats as she could and proceeded to make waterproof covers for the stock. Thus the Apple Mac was born.

    I'm an English lady now living in Spain and The Lake District was my and my late husband's favourite place in the UK. It's so nice seeing you discover the area. We loved Coniston Water and The Old Man of Coniston was our happy place 😊

    Of all the YouTube videos of Americans visiting our little but interesting island, yours are by far the most wonderful and inclusive. Your constant enjoyment and passion of everywhere you visit rekindles my love for the country that has been my home and birthplace for 50 years and that I've slightly grown to take for granted. There is SO much more to Britain than godawful London and you two have certainly tried to see every nook and cranny! Informative and fun, they're great little travelogues. Keep doing what you're doing and being who you are 🙂
  • @zupermaus9276
    Your observation on it looking almost tropical is spot on -it's one of the few areas in the UK that is a temperate rainforest

    The Pencil Museum near Keswick is surprisingly good. It sounds very prosaic but actually quite fascinating - graphite pencils didn't exist before the 1500s when they found a huge pure deposit near the town, and 'black lead' was this amazing new mysterious wonder material like it had just fallen from space. For over a century every pencil in the world had graphite from Keswick, and even after some Germans figured out how to make it synthetically, Keswick graphite is still considered the best in the world.

    I will be gutted when you go home. Your the channel that is my pleasure regarding nostalgure because you remind me of a time in England long ago for me. No politics, no judgement just two people and their dog having nice times.
  • @lesley585
    It amazes me that Americans don't butter their bread. They are a pair. They go together like fish and chips. No sandwisch is complete without butter. For example, it's never a case of mayo or butter, we have both! When in doubt....butter it!!
  • @simonpoole2333
    I camped with a mate in a large back garden just a few metres from Buttermere lake in 1978. Early on the final morning I stood exactly where you are standing (on the lakes edge) and soaked up the beauty of the place. This video really takes me back
  • @trevorford8332
    I'm glad you like England, it's got some unique qualities. Lovely food and scenery to die for. 😊
  • What a lovely couple you two are. Please make your home here, you would both be an asset to our country. We need more people like you for sure. Enjoy the rest of your time here.
  • @timothylunt2907
    You guys are so cute! I love how you are super appreciative of our beautiful country. And the train looks like an amazing way to spend an afternoon! Can't wait to see more x
  • @glastonbury4304
    Your remark about the architecture and stone work reminded me of Dara from Magenta Otter Travels, also an American that spends 4,5,6 months of every year in the Cotswolds and traveling all round the UK, being different in each area of the UK using local stone in their buildings or have a different vibe from county to county, all so unique ❤
  • @barryhumphries4514
    The standing Stones near Keswick should not be missed, there is an enchanting atmosphere about the place. A boat trip on windermere is quite nice too. But my favourite place is Wast water on the west side of the district. The deepest lake in England I believe with the tallest mountain in England as it's backdrop scenery Scafell Pike. Just beautiful! 👀👍🇬🇧
  • @austinbux
    The Lake District is so beautiful and mysterious. I've been to various parts of the UK but I would say England's Lake District is the most enchanting. It has the wild mountains, the stunning lakes and also the picturesque villages and towns, made with that hallmark dark slate stone.
  • @damo85
    England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland are all beautiful, the UK has some of the most amazing scenery and culture and thanks to you the world can share in it. Please stay much longer, you're most welcome!
  • @janinebedfordl
    I think I'm right in saying that there are some remnants of temperate rainforest in the Lake District so maybe your impression was spot on. I love The Lakes - so, so pretty 🥰
  • @5591408
    Lovely to see American tourists enjoying their visit to England, its refreshing that you both research the places you go and try the local food and drink and accept that England isn't America 😁😁 and things are just different, I can tell you're really enjoying your visit.
