Cumbria is the wonderful home of the beautiful Lake District National Park which is widely considered as one of the most beautiful areas of England. With such outstanding beauty, the area has provided inspiration for generations of British people as well as foreign artists, musicians, and writers.
The Lake District that is housed within Cumbria is home to an abundance of natural wildlife, some of which is actually unique to England, including the Sundew and Butterwort, two of the very few carnivorous plants native to the British Isles. England's only pair of nesting Golden Eagles can also be found in the Lake District; however the female has not been seen since 2004. Get your binoculars out while staying with the Cumbria Hotel.
There have been guides written about this part of Cumbria since the 17th Century, including works by Celia Fiennes, and Daniel Defoe. William Wordsworth published his very own Guide to the Lakes in 1810 and had reached its fifth edition by 1835. This publication was widely influential in popularising the area. Wordsworth's favourite valley was in fact Dunnerdale, or the Duddon Valley which is in the South West of the Lake District.
Cumbria's Lake District has had many associations with Literature throughout the years of the 18th and 19th Century. William Wordsworth's poems were most influential in attraction tourism to the region. His poem 'I wandered lonely as a cloud' was inspired by the sight of daffodils on the shores of the lake of Ullswater in Cumbria, and to this day remains one of the most famous poems of the English Language. Pick up a pen during your stay at Cumbria Hotel; you could be the next literary master!
During the early 20th century, Beatrix Potter the famous children's writer lived in the now famous Hill Top Farm which many of her famous books are set in. During her childhood she would go out and draw and paint the local wildlife and fauna of the area and, although she was discouraged by her parents from developing academically, she was widely respected in the field of mycology for her study and watercolours of fungi.
Cumbria is comprised of 6 areas, Barrow in Furness, South Lakeland, Copeland, Allerdale, Eden and Carlisle. Parts of Hadrian's Wall can be found in the northernmost part of the county, dotted in and around Carlisle.
Much of the county of Cumbria is mountainous, and the highest point of the county - as well as England - is Scafell Pike which stands at 978m. All of the mountains in England which are over 900 metres above sea level can all be located in Cumbria.
