The Lake District truly comes alive from March to June, its most beautiful period, perfect for hiking and enjoying the sunrise or sunset over the scenic lakes. Especially around Easter, the sun rises earlier, making mornings ideal for a hike.
By April, the district ends its winter slumber, bustling with activities and vibrant colours. It’s during this season that visitor centres reopen, welcoming you to explore the rich history and culture of the Lake District. So if you are looking to buy a luxury lodge in the Lake District, this time of year is perfect.
