Getting Around: The Lake District is a captivating region filled with natural wonders, charming villages, and countless opportunities for exploration. To make the most of your stay in this stunning area, here's a guide to getting around and experiencing the beauty of the Lake District from your Airbnb base: Renting a car or arriving in your own vehicle is one of the most convenient ways to explore the Lake District. The road network in the region is well-maintained, and it offers the freedom to venture into remote areas and discover hidden gems. Be sure to have a map or Sat Nav to navigate the winding roads and enjoy scenic drives. The Lake District is well-connected by public transportation, including buses and trains. Windermere Train Station is just a short drive over the ferry from Jemima Cottage and Ambleside has a bus station, which provides a convenient way to reach other areas if you don't wish to drive, although you will need to arrange to get to Hawkshead by other means as there is not a bus service from Far Sawrey itself. Lake Windermere, the largest lake in the area and offers the opportunity to explore by boat.. It's a unique, relaxing way to experience the Lake District.
