Morning mist lifts off Loweswater itself, revealing the quietest of the three lakes in this western corner of the national park, where the fells rise steeply and the bracken glows copper in autumn light.

This one's for couples after proper seclusion or small families who want a base with a roof and four walls — you're booking either a camping pod or a chalet, not a traditional pitch. The location puts you in walking distance of the lake shore, with Mellbreak looming above and Crummock Water just down the valley. It's classic Western Lakes territory: less crowded than Windermere, more dramatic than gentle. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you're bringing one.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so expect something fairly straightforward rather than a resort setup. Campfires are a "check on arrival" situation — they'll let you know what's allowed once you're there. The vibe is quiet, off-the-beaten-track Lakeland, the kind of spot where you hear curlews more often than car doors and spend evenings watching the light fade over Rannerdale Knotts.

Hodge Close to Cathedral Quarry, Tarn Hows and Coniston

National Trust logoNational Trust

Loops through dramatic abandoned slate quarries with sheer rock faces, deep pools and cathedral-like caverns before climbing gently through woodland to viewpoints over Coniston Water. Short but steep sections with uneven rocky paths and unfenced drops make this unsuitable for buggies and requires close supervision of children. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near quarry edges. The industrial archaeology and turquoise water-filled workings are spectacular, offering a unique Lake District experienc
