| Click for a more detailed map (divided by region) or Click for a map of road and rail links in Cumbria Map pages take longer to open than other pages You will find further detailed information about each of these regions on the separate pages. There are links to selected accommodation ranging from Youth Hostels and Bed & Breakfast guesthouses to 5-star historic hotels, transport options, attractions and other useful information and personal recommendations which will assist you in planning your visit. We have further subdivided the regions following natural and political bondaries, mainly based on valleys radiating from rthe central massif of the Lake District. Many of the regions have been named according to the main rivers into which they drain. For example Windermere drains into the Leven Valley and Coniston nto the River Crake. |

Buttermere & Crummock Water W2: Ehen Whitehaven, Workington & Ennerdale W3: Irt Wasdale, Gosforth & Seascale W4: Esk Ravenglass, Eskdale & Duddon Valley |
