Cheap Flights to Lake District ()

Home to stunning walks, cosy villages and beautiful scenery everywhere you turn, the Lake District National Park is an ideal spot for a UK holiday or a cosy break. Whether you want to climb Scafell Pike, England's tallest mountain, or just relax in a friendly pub overlooking one of the lakes, jump on a flight to the Lake District to get your trip started.

Flights to the Lake District

This part of the world doesn't have its own airport so look for Lake District flights that land at Newcastle International Airport. It's a good idea to arrange Lake District car hire from the airport to take you the rest of the way. Once your cheap Lake District flight has landed, the transfer to your Lake District hotel can take up to two hours.

Getting around the Lake District

Although there are a few local bus services between the more major destinations in the Lake District, car hire really is the best way to get around. You'll be able to reach all the small villages, visit the attractions and get to the start of all the spectacular walks much more easily with your own vehicle. Some of the lakes, such as Windermere, Coniston Water and Derwent Water have ferries that run across them so you can explore around these lakes without trekking all the way, and Ullswater has a steamer that's an attraction in its own right as well as a mode of transport.

What to see in the Lake District

Aside from going on walks, there's plenty to see and do in the Lake District. Ambleside is the heart of foodie heaven, but there are lots of other hidden foodie gems too. Visit the World of Beatrix Potter and Wordsworth's House to see how this area helped produce such great works, and admire the houses and gardens of Holker Hall and Levens Hall. You take to the trees at Go Ape in Keswick or Grizedale or stroll Big Head Sculpture Valley in Penrith. Munster Castle with its antiques and birds of prey shows is another great place to spend the day.
