Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2012 | Hiking through the Cumbrian Lake District — England's green and pristine mountain playground — we'll admire idyllic lakes, discover misty waterfalls, tour a slate mine, and conquer stony summits. And we'll meet the locals — and their beloved dogs and sheep — everywhere. Then we play a little cricket, hike Hadrian's Wall, and get dazzled by Durham's Norman cathedral. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #lakedistrict Visit http://www.ricksteves.com for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.
