Once Christmas is over it’s time to think about and look forward to planning a Valentines get away.

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about what destination to choose should be high on the agenda.

A destination sure to appeal to both parties is the Lake District. The peacefulness and tranquillity of the lakes and hills provide a romantic setting to rival any. With a choice of romantic places to stay as well, you are sure to find the ultimate romantic break. Year after year magazine polls rate the Lake District as the top romantic destination for a Valentine’s break and it’s no hard to understand why. And that’s not to mention the Lake District being listed in National Geographic’s 50 Places to a Lifetime list.

Many hotels in the Lake District offer special Valentine’s breaks which can be anything from a romantic meal in their restaurant to 2 or 3 night Valentine’s breaks including dinner, champagne, flowers and even optional extras such as private use of a hot tub or pre-theatre tickets to add just that something else special.

For walkers, what better activity on Valentine’s Day then the two of you going up one of the many fells. Once at the top, it’s just the tow of you and miles of spectacular Lakeland landscapes. When back at the hotel, which is sure to have a roaring open fire, you can cosy up and await a truly romantic dinner for two. The cuisine in Lake District hotels never fails to disappoint.

Even though all the lakes in the Lake District are beautiful, Ullswater and Derwentwater are two that truly enchant. Not only are they surrounded by some of the highest fells in the Lake District but you can even experience and take in the view from the water. Ullswater Steamers and the Keswick Launch operate boat trips up and down the lakes which never fail to create that romantic mood.

To further illustrate and confirm the status of the Lake District as a romantic destination, no one need look any further that the pros of Wordsworth. Artists and writers take their inspiration from their surrounding and none more so than when Wordsworth wrote “ I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”. Just reading the first verse and you are transported straight to the Lake District;

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Those with a head for adventure couldn’t choose a better location either. If leisurely strolls and boat rides aren’t your thing, then the Lake District is the number one destination for thrill seekers and outward bound enthusiasts. Whether you’re in to climbing, abseiling or mountain biking, the Lake District will still create alternative Valentines breaks when coupled with a stay in one of the Lake District hotels.

For a destination that is sure to offer everything and more expected from a Valentine’s break, choose the Lake District.

Antarctica is the last great wilderness on earth, a place where spectacular icebergs seem to reflect every hue of blue imaginable.

Come face to face with whales, sometimes close enough to smell their fishy breath, and be awestruck by ancient glaciers covered with a carpet of penguins as far as the eye can see in Antarctica.

The Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands are less than two days’ sailing from mainland South America and Ushuaia, the southernmost town in Argentina. The Peninsula has relatively mild weather conditions with temperatures as high as 15 degrees Celsius. This mild climate leads to a proliferation of wildlife and, in ‘summer’, endless twilight.

When and Where Do Trips Take Place:

Antarctic visits are mainly concentrated at ice-free coastal zones over the Antarctic summer, the five-month period from November to March, in high summer there will be 20+ hours of daylight.

The formation and movement of sea-ice outside of these times means that from March to November, Antarctica is left to the over-wintering scientific bases and their crews. Apart from the odd ice-breaker trip that may leave in October, tourist ships just don’t risk it outside of these months.

Winter pack ice extends over 620 miles around the continent, it is almost permanently dark and temperatures can drop to as low as -90°c (-130°f)

Temperature Range: December – February -6°c to +10°c (20°f to 50°f)

November & Early December (Late Spring / Early Summer)
• Winter pack ice is starting to melt and break up.
• The scenery is white, clean and pristine with pack ice and giant icebergs
• Courting season for penguins and seabirds – see spectacular courtship rituals
• Seals visible on fast ice
• Spring wildflowers in the Falklands and South Georgia
• Elephant and fur seals establish their breeding territories

Mid- December and January (Mid Summer)
• Normally Antarctica’s warmest months
• Longer days create great light conditions and fabulous photo opportunities at midnight
• Antarctic chicks hatch
• South Georgia and the Falklands – first penguin chicks emerge and fur seals are breeding
• Seal Pups visible on South Georgia and the Falklands
• Receding ice allows for more exploration

February and March (Late Summer)
• Whale sightings are at their best
• Penguin chicks start to fledge
• Receding pack ice allows ships to explore further south
• More fur seals in the Antarctic Peninsula

What Do I Need To Take?

“When your feet are cold, cover your head.”
- Inuit saying.

Clothing
As your trip will be in the Antarctic summer, you won’t need to take any real extreme cold weather gear. Temperatures on many or most days will hover around freezing point, maybe dropping to an extreme of -10°c (20°f). Obviously people adapt to the cold in different ways and I’ve seen some tourists in the Antarctic in lightweight clothing while others are wrapped up like the Michelin man in the same conditions. Layering is the key, and then you can be flexible according to conditions.

Camera
Be sure to take a good quality camera with you, this can be digital or 35mm. Surplus spare batteries/rechargeable types as well as film or memory cards are absolutely essential.

Quality sunglasses
Boy it gets bright! Especially when the sun reflects off the sea and ice or snow.

High factor sun-cream
If you’ve never been burnt under your nose from reflections from snow now’s your chance. The ozone hole is real, don’t let it prove it to you the hard way. Lightweight waterproof rucksack to carry your stuff ashore while leaving arms free to clamber in and out of zodiacs.

Binoculars
Take a good pair of binoculars if you’re an avid wildlife watcher.

Swiss army penknife
I wouldn’t leave home without one.

Photography: What to Use?
Digital Photographic technology has advanced incredibly over the last 5 years, with a good quality camera coming in at a very reasonable price. Generally a digital camera makes the ideal choice for Antarctic cruises and Antarctic holidays; pictures can be viewed immediately, shared easily and edited simply. However some still argue a traditional 35mm SLR film camera cannot be beaten for quality of image even by the very best digital cameras. It really boils down to your own expertise, the convenience you want and your budget.

The picturesque village of Ambleside is located at the very heart of the Lake District National Park at the head of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake. For a small village of just 2000 residents there is plenty for visitors to the area to see and do. There is a plethora of specialist shop including independent outdoor stores, art galleries and craft shops. There is also an excellent choice of places to eat and drink including traditional pubs and restaurants that cater for just about all tastes including Thai, Italian, English, Continental, Indian and Chinese cuisine.

When it comes to Historic Houses and Gardens visitors will find a wealth of properties available within a short distance of Ambleside. These include …

Brockhole Visitor Centre:
Located near Windermere with beautiful grounds, lakeshore access, children’s adventure playground, café gift shop full disability access and plenty of parking. Various events throughout the year.

Rydal Mount:
William Wordsworth’s home for 37 years until his death in 1850. He moved here in 1813 with his wife, 3 children (two had died the previous year), sister Dorothy and sister-in-law Sara Hutchinson and adapted the home to suit his lifestyle – adding another storey to accommodate his library. Some of his personal effects are on view including letters relating to his appointment as Poet Laureate. Outside, the four-acre fellside garden, landscaped by Wordsworth, was designed to blend in with the surrounding land and is virtually unchanged today.

Armitt Museum & Library:
Combined museum, library and art gallery that explores the history of Ambleside and its surroundings from Roman times to the present day, with emphasis on literary and artistic connections. There are Roman and later artefacts, exquisite watercolours of fungi by Beatrix Potter, historic photographs of old Ambleside, paintings and collages by Kurt Schwitters (influential pioneer of Merz assemblage art), and an archive of over 10,000 local resource books. Regularly changing exhibitions of artwork. Hands-on activities include interactive computer screens, a children’s ‘archaeological dig’ and block printing.

Townend, Troutbeck:
This yeoman’s farmhouse, a fine example of Lake District vernacular architecture was the home of many generations of the Browne family from the early 17th Century until 1943. As the same family lived here for so many years, the house is very well preserved. Inside the oak pannelling and most of the ornately carved furniture and equipment were originally owned by the family. 

Bridge House:
This much photographed tiny house on a bridge over Stock Beck was built as an apple store in 1723. It is one of the few buildings in Cumbria to have retained its original wrestler slates on the roof ridge. In 1926, local subscribers bought Bridge House and handed it to the National Trust, who own the property today.

Galava Roman Fort:
The Romans built a fort here in AD 120, on a raised platform to avoid flooding from the rivers Rothay and Brathay. Before being abandoned by the Romans shortly before AD400. On site there are interpretation panels provide information on how the fort would have looked and operated.

Brantwood Coniston:
The former home of John Ruskin, explore Brentwood’s estate and gardens or experience contempory art at the Sevren Studio. To take full advantage of Ambleside visitors should look to stay in one of the area’s fine hotels, guest houses, self catering holiday homes, or perhaps a luxury Ambleside Bed & Breakfast. A guide to holiday accommodation in the area is available on www.staylakedistrict.co.uk.

Who would have thought it? Windermere is not on Lake Windermere! In fact, it’s about 2 miles away, with ‘Bowness on Windermere’ being the small town which is on Lake Windermere.

Strangely, Windermere [town] used to be called Winandermere and before that there were actually three small hamlets [Applethwaite, Birththwaite and Heathwaite] which were combined in the 1800’s when there was a greater attempt to encourage people to visit the area.

The railway arrived in 1857, making the area much more accessible to visitors and with this demand grew a wealth of Lake District Hotels. The railway still exists today and brings people from all over the world to this special area of the Lake District National Park. As well as being a sustainable way to travel, most of the Windermere hotels are only a short walk from the station, or at worst a five minute taxi ride.

Lake Windermere is well known as England’s largest Lake at over 10 miles long and is also the deepest at 65 metres. There are numerous outstanding viewing points within easy reach either by car, or by short walk. Gummer’s Howe is probably the most famous being situated at the south end of Lake Windermere. You can drive most of the way, leaving only a 30 minute walk to marvel at the panoramic views over Lake Windermere and across to Morecambe Bay. To see the Lakes from a different perspective, Arnside Knott rewards those who take this gentle climb with stunning views of the Kent Estuary and Morecambe Bay; simply head for the viewpoint. For a more challenging, but still enjoyable walk for most, take the 2 hour round trip to Brantfell and Post Knott. Take the camera, as there are wonderful views of Windermere, the stunning Langdales and maybe even the Lake District Hotel you’ve chosen. Hope for a clear day and always check the weather forecasts before heading out. Suitable footwear is always important, even on these more leisurely walks.

Around Lake Windermere you’ll find an array of villages and hamlets to enjoy. While the drive will be slow around the twisting back roads, you’ll discover Fell Foot Park [National Trust] where you can enjoy an ice cream and hire a boat; Aquarium of the Lakes and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite railway at Lakeside, both being attractions you can enjoy on a sunny or rainy day; at Graythwaite you can enjoy Graythwaite Hall Gardens, which are particularly impressive in the Spring; head up towards Sawrey and visit ‘Hill Top’, a 17th century farmhouse where Beatrix Potter weaved her lyrical magic. At the north end of Lake Windermere, Ambleside is a Mecca for walking enthusiasts and you can take a lake cruise back to your hotel in Bowness-on-Windermere.

You may have found your loved one recently or decades ago, but one sure fire way to keeps those fires a burning is a visit to the majestic Lake District. Everything one associates with romance is here in great excess. Fantastic Lake District Hotels with plumped pillows and crisp linen; Michelin quality candlelit dining; Hand-holding walks offering splendid panoramas; Spa treatments and massages; Evening cruises down the lake; Cocktails on terraces with fell views; Luxury Picnics with champagne and strawberries.

If the Lake District becomes your world for a short break, then coming over the hill and down into Windermere is the start of an incredible romantic adventure. Book a luxury Windermere hotel, unpack and if the weather is fine take the 3 mile stroll to Orrest Head, starting opposite the TIC. The reward for your hand holding efforts will be as breathtaking as that first kiss. Remember to compare the beauty of the views with that of your partner and you can be sure of another breathtaking kiss, or maybe just a sly smile.

To compensate your partner for the effort, treat them to a hot cappuccino or cocktail back at your hotel in Windermere, then change for the evening’s entertainment. A candlelit dinner on a lake cruise is a wonderful way to charm your companion, while enjoying the many sights around Lake Windermere. Marvel at the lakeside houses and envy those with moorings and motor yachts, but enjoy the smooth jazz of the onboard live band and the amaretto that’s helping the shared indulgent chocolate dessert go down.

The magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park offers dramatic scenery and spectacular walks – literally from many North Yorkshire hotel doorsteps! Many hotels are perfectly positioned for the Three Peaks of Whernside, Pen-Y-Ghent and Ingleborough.

Also in the immediate locality to some North Yorkshire hotels is some of the most dramatic limestone scenery in Europe, including the Ingleborough Cave, with its dazzling stalactites and stalagmites. Gaping Gill, the most dramatic of North Yorkshire’s pot holes, where water hurtles down in a single jet over 365ft to the floor.

Nearby is Malham Cove, once a waterfall and now an impressive cliff topped by an extensive area of limestone pavement.

A short drive away is the picturesque market town of Kirkby Lonsdale with walks along the Lune Valley to the famous Ruskin’s View, with magnificent views of the hills beyond, and just a short walk from the town centre is the dramatic Devil’s Bridge.

The renowned Settle to Carlisle Railway – passing through some of the most spectacular Dales & Lakeland landscapes including the Ribblehead Viaduct – is a popular day out with Settle being just 5 miles away.

Windermere the lake is 10.5 miles long and ranges from a quarter of a mile to one mile wide. The northern end is Waterhead, a mile from Ambleside town centre, the middle being Bowness-On-Windermere and the southerly end bringing you to Newby Bridge.

The start of Windermere’s popularity began in 1847 when the Kendal to Windermere railway line was constructed. This enabled visitors to travel to the heart of the Lake District with ease. The train network has now grown to the direct line from Windermere to Manchester Airport and also the thriving West Coast Mainline that can be joined from Oxenholme The Lake District station. This has brought many visitors from outside the UK to the area and has put Windermere on the map internationally.

The town of Windermere is located on the east bank of the lake and is in actual fact one and a quarter miles from the lake. With a population of approximately 2,295, Windermere is one of the larger towns in the South Lakes. Many businesses have offices and shops in the town due to its location to the many smaller villages in the area. It has a supermarket, many local independent shops and the flagship Lakeland Limited store right next to the train station.

Surrounding the town and all the way down to the lake are a plethora of Windermere hotels and Lake District hotels. The choice really is endless. Boutique and niche hotels have begun to pop up making Windermere a quality destination suitable for young and old.

With such spectacular scenery, Lake Windermere attracts thousands of tourists each yeaar from anglers, to canoeists to yachtsmen and dingy owners. The cruises on Lake Windermere are truely worth a go as the magnificent scenery can be taken in fully. Starting from the south of the lake and Newby Bridge is where you will be.

Continuing up the lake and you pass Cartmel Fell, Far Sawrey, Bowness-on-Windermere, High Wray and the lake comes to an end at Waterhead, only a short walk into the centre of the bustling Ambleside. The views are of course sights to be hold all the way down but the most spectacular are towards the north of the lake where the Fairfield Horseshoe, Great and Little Langdale and Coniston Old Man are in view. The Windermere Marina continues to thrive with around 400 boats having mooring there, the largest inland marina in the North of England.

Of course, if being on the water is not for you, the walking along the shore taking in the scenery and landscapes is equally as enthralling. The town of Bowness-On-Windermere sits right by the lake too. Again, a very busy town but a greater focus on tourism. Many excellent restaurants and bars along with clothing boutiques and gift shops are on offer there. It is also where the Beatrix Potter visitor centre of located. This has become especially popular since the release of the Miss Potter film starring Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor.

The Brooklands motoring racing circuit situated in Weybridge in Surrey, is steeped in history but is continuing to develop whilst holding onto its heritage.

The Brooklands motor racing circuit and aerodrome was opened in 1907. It made history as it was the first ever purpose built motor race circuit that was banked in the world. In Britain motorists were restricted to a 20mph speed limit and Brooklands was so popular due to the high speeds that could be reached. Sadly the last race was in 1939 and it was the outbreak of the war that put a stop to any further racing. Brooklands was also one of the first airfields in Britain created by Hugh Locke-King and was also opened in 1907. In 1939 the whole site was handed over to the wartime manufacture of military aircraft. The track was badly damaged due to bombings and was also covered by dispersal hangers and as such the racing never returned.

Brooklands was always the home of revolutionary aviation development until British Aerospace ended producing aircraft in 1987. Today the site is home to the Brooklands Museum; a motoring and major aviation museum, which was founded by the Brooklands Museum Trust that was formed in 1987. The purpose was to preserve the traditions and spirit of the heritage destination that it is today. It is currently used for vintage car rallies, motorcycle and other transport-based events.

Due to its location, located just 5 minutes from the M25, 30minutes from central London, 17 miles from Heathrow and 33 miles from Gatwick, the site has attracted large stores, companies and manufacturers such as Marks and Spencer, Mercedes Benz and Proctor and Gamble. The site is still developing with the latest addition being the newest of the spa hotels in Surrey, the art deco inspired Brooklands Hotel. Having only opened in March 2010, the Brooklands Hotel is a must to visit. It is to be located in the middle of the motor racing circuit, it is aimed towards both the leisure and business visitor with 120 spacious bedrooms and luxury suites. Keeping the heritage of this quite unique former motor racing site has been high on the agenda for the new hotel. From the original Brooklands racetrack which rolls out before you in riven quartz and honed granite, to the glittering 1930s inspired honeycomb pendants that greet the guests upon check-in. For Brooklands fans, the knowing nod to the legacy of the race circuit that surrounds and runs through the hotel is great to see.

A hen or stag night has become more of an event in recent years. For years it was just a night around the local pubs where you live. Now, it is a real chance to have a fantastic and memorable weekend away with your friends and a start to the wedding celebrations.

Tasteless dressing up and gimmicks are becoming a thing of the past. Manchester for example is one such destination where a stag and hen party can be both loads of fun but without being tacky.
