Holidays in Lake District, United Kingdom

Getting there

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
Both Manchester (www.manchesterairport.co.uk) and Liverpool (www.liverpooljohnlennonairport.com) airports are less than 90 minutes’ drive away from the southern reaches of Cumbria, the Lake District. Glasgow (www.glasgowairport.com) and Edinburgh (www.edinburghairport.com) airports are a couple of hours from Carlisle, in the north of Cumbria.
Trains
The West Coast Main Line from London to Glasgow stops at Oxenholme (where you can change for Kendal and Windermere), Penrith and Carlisle in the Lakes. There are regular direct trains between Manchester Airport and Windermere (via Oxenholme).
Automobiles
The M6 motorway from the Midlands to Carlisle passes up the eastern side of the county of Cumbria, providing easy access from all parts of the UK. You'll definitely want your own wheels for exploring – for car hire, go to www.hertz.co.uk. Smith cardholders get a 10 per cent discount; simply quote '635230' when you reserve your car.
