16 March NEWTOWN TO THE LAKES DISTRICT Friday

Off to the next cottage today, albeit not the original one we booked in The Lakes District, but apparently there was a problem and we were allocated another one.
We had lunch in the village that was the biggest Roman fort back in the day, Chester.



The village is still surrounded by a 2 mile roman wall with impressive gates still intact.  Sorry, photo's aren't uploaded yet.

The cottage we have now is lovely too and best of all, just a short walk to the village pubs and of course the all important Windermere lake.

  2. We went up the Cambrian Coast in Wales, but now we are back in England in The Lake District, Cumbria.
