I was an oversea student. I visited Lake District 4 times in 4 different seasons. There was one time that I was standing beside the lake and the pier was covered with heavy snow during the sunset. This was one of the best scenes I saw in my life.
Mesmerizing and simply stunning. Loved seeing places I've walked in the Lake District in the past from above. A must watch for anyone who loves the Lake District and the great outdoors.
+Jenny Andrew Hi Jenny. Glad you like d the video, errors and all. Out and about again soon to capture The Lakes In Autumn - if it ever stops raining. Cheers John, Jack & Ollie
Humphrey Head? The Lake District? Seriously? It's about 3 to 3.5 miles south of the National Park. If there aren't enough beauty spots within the Lake District, so that you feel you have to add ones that aren't really there, can I suggest you choose The Eden Valley next time?
Here at Lakeland Cottage Company we are very passionate and proud of the whole of Cumbria. We will certainly consider your suggestion for The Eden Valley for our next film. Thank you for taking the time to watch our film and write a review.
My point was that Humphrey Head ISN'T in The Lake District, nor are either of the wind farms near Kendal (both are east of Kendal, which is itself outside the eastern boundary of the national park.) Farleton Knott is nowhere bloody near the Lake District! If as you claim you are passionate and proud of the whole of Cumbria, by all means produce tourist videos for the whole of Cumbria but DON'T title them: "This Is The Lake District' when much of it isn't, (though "This Is Mostly The Lake District Except For The Bits That Aren't" is a little long winded, so perhaps you should have filled your film with places that ARE in the Lake District - there are plenty of them that you missed: Grasmere, The Langdale Valley, etc.) By the way: was this video edited by a group of people who weren't talking to each other and never looked at each other's work? Gummer's How appears twice at different points in the film, as does the aforementioned Humphrey Head. Castlerigg and Castlerigg Stone Circle are given separate captions (pretty generous for a stone circle and a minor hill only about a mile apart!) It's AIRA Force, Not Aria Force: I would have thought that if the captions had been checked by people who are passionate and proud of the area, this would have been spotted, (unless they weren't checked of course!?) Overall, there was some very nice footage of the bits that WERE in the Lake District, but as an authoritative travel video, you should perhaps have proof-viewed it before releasing it, and seriously considered if your choice of title, and your selection of content were mutually supportive of each other,
All except Haweswater, Thirlmere and Ennerdale Water.The water, especially in the deeper lakes , can be very cold as they are fed by mountain streams and drained by rivers so there's a constant change of water.
I came back from The Lake District yesterday, i just watched this and recognised most places. It made me want to cry. Never in my life have i been anywhere so beautiful! I cant wait to go back!
I never understood why tourists who come to England concentrate on London and the South. The best natural sights of this country are exhibited in this beautiful video.
I'd agree it's the best city in the world but in just a few hours you can be in the Lake District and get the best of both worlds. (I might be biased lol, I love London but I live in the Lake District)
I'd agree London is one of the greatest cities in the world. People miss out so much though by just visiting London. Very few tourists go to places like the New Forest, Stonehenge, Southdowns, Peak District, Lake District, Pennines, Snowdonia, The highlands etc. People really need to see the REAL UK not just London
I studied in Sheffield University in 2002, and had been to Peak District twice, it was amazing, the true color of England. For the past 15 years, i went to UK for another 10 times, keeping in my mind to visit Lake District one day but unfortunately I never make it. I believe one day I will travel to the Lake district.
Agreed. London in my opinion loses it's fun after a couple days. I can visit places like the Lake District over and over again, without ever getting bored. It's a wonderful part of the country!
Me: *searches Lake District* *spots video and look at amount of Subs* "Nah. The vids prob rubbish.Its from such a small RU-vidr." My Friend: Give it chance. At least watch the first 10 secs. Me:*clicks video* "............." *instantly subs* You are one of those RU-vidrs who is so small yet makes so much in such good quality. Amazing Video!
@@bbbf09 for awe inspiring views , yes NZ easily beats it. But I have to say, the sheer majestic enchanted beauty and atmosphere of the lakes is beyond comparison. The feeling you get from 10,000 + years of history, the names, the places , the legends, if them there hills could talk… There’s nowhere on the planet like the English lakes.
Simas Doorsas one of them, the range in landscape over such a small set of islands is incredible, from the rolling hills and plains and salt marshes in the south to the huge meadows and marshes in the east, the mountains of snowdonia in the west and the desolate Scottish highlands to the north. There's no place quite like it and I love it
Certain parts are also quite popular with the rich and famous. David Beckham has stayed at the Samling hotel on numerous occasions i believe..........a bit pricey though. I couldn't afford to touch the door handle.
Fantastic video! (speaking as an expat Cumbrian). For those who have never visited the area, this video has done a great job of capturing the beauty of the district, but to feel its soul you need to be there. Drive over Hardknott Pass (in a VERY roadworthy vehicle), visit Newlands valley when a fine misty rain is falling, climb a mountain, any mountain, and just look around you, find a pub well off the beaten track and spend an evening there with the locals, and if the weather is hot enough, go swimming in a natural pool (Mungrisdale has an excellent one). [Disclaimer] The Lakeland Cottage Co. has NOT sponsored me to write this, lol, this is just me being 9000 miles away and remembering...
It would have been so much better if he'd carried on into the following week a bit and created enough parking spaces while he was at it....... He can't have had a hand in creating the Black Bull in Coniston though, because the beer was sh*te when I last tried it.
Have you noticed when you drive up the M6, The Lakes motorway signs in blue have the words written in capitals, the place is that good. Not even Cornwall or Scotland have that. Will be there the first two weeks in September. Grasmere and Windermere. Two rental cottages. Hope its not too wet.
the lakes is indeed beautiful but nowhere has made me feel the way I felt when I went to pedn vounder beach in cornwall. it's incredible! but for a small island the uk is so diverse 😍
Wow, this is so beautiful, the time lapses are amazing and the rest is amazing too. I don't even know what to comment, just wanted to write that I really enjoyed this video.
Absolutely fantastic video - We are in the south lakes and have made a virtual band audio recording about the Lake District and we would love to use some clips from your video to enhance the musical experience and bring a bit of the lakes to those not lucky enough to live here. We will of course credit Lakeland Cottage Company and Ooze photography within the film sequence. These videos help motivate our amateur members to keep playing in these difficult times.
I've grown up in the South Downs most of my life, in a Norman valley town surrounded by glistening chalk white cliff edges - and even I have to say that the Lake district is by far the most stunning area of England, and possibly the United Kingdom. I hope one day to go, because even my trips to Italy, Switzerland and France haven't stirred me as much as the views in the Lake District do just in video form.
"As clear as Sca Fell Pike my heart has been stamped on By the railway line from Birmingham to Wolverhampton. Coal mines, slag heaps, pieces of machinery, They were and are my ideal scenery." From, Letter to Lord Byron by WH Auden.
Can't wait to go here in 3 weeks time, I've never been before. Anybody got recommendations of places to visit and things to do? I'm staying for 3 nights over the weekend. Any responses will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
I found Heaven on Earth at the Lake District. Never before had I been so elated by landscape. Although it's been thirty years the mere thought of the place fills me with a longing to return.
This short film is beautiful. All to often the spirit of a place is lost but this capture some of the profound majesty, beaty and splendour of the Lake District conveying its character and spirit. The professionalism and quality is stunning but more so that its slow with slow panning and long aerial shots which let you watch and absorb. Love it, next time some high peaks and mountains would be great too.
As someone who was born in this area and has now lived here for over 60 years, films such as this really do underline the beauty of the area. I often drive around, just as always, yet I don't often stop to appreciate the genuinely incredible scenery and vistas. Now that we are (slowly) coming out of the Covid 19 crisis, it seems likely we will see ever increasing numbers of visitors to the area. This is a good thing of course, as the Lake District depends on tourism, along with the people whose jobs also depend on it. Just remember the golden rule if you do come folks. Take only photographs, and leave only footprints..........
Awesome video. May be planning a return to the UK to do something with imaging but it would have to be in an area such as this. Originally from the South, Bournemouth. After seeing imagery like this it just goes to show how much we miss of the real UK.
Beautiful pictures, bringing back wonderful memories! I discovered the Lake District on a study trip to England and since then can`t help myself wanting to go back there again and again and again ... Sadly managed to only twice in the last 10 years. I remember sitting there one day on a hill in the evening sun and contemplating the valley lying before me, the only sound coming from some sheep grazing in the distance, thinking "this feels just like paradise", which might sound a little cheesy written down here, but at that moment it was the most perfect place I could imagine on earth, with all it`s calmness, ancient elements and beauty of nature
So glad you enjoyed the movie and has brought back lovely memories for you :) I have to agree with you the lakes does feel like paradise! Hope you can return soon and explore more of the Lake District!
This is so amazing there currently isn't a word in the Oxford dictionary to describe it. The camera angle and the music build and the begging is something else! up to 0:32
I'm from Manchester but used to stay in a caravan In the lake district with my grandparents regularly. Loved trips to shap, penrith and kendle etc. And who can forget lowther park. Lake district holds some really happy childhood memories for me.
Rain is what fills the lakes. In fact mostly every 2 days there is some rain within that day. But take note *some* rain. That rainy days varies from less than 1 minute or rain to all day rain. If you were to randomly be dropped in the lake district the actual chances of it raining on you at any given time is way less than one in ten.
@Robert Cawley yes it sure is ..where i live in Spain its also beautiful and we have sunshine and lots of colour but how i would love to see a running stream ..
Can anyone guide me ....I'm from London my family wants to visit this place and we don't know which is the nearest and cheap price hotel ?? What are the beautiful places like water fall, beautiful towns to visit.
I wouldn't stay in a hotel. They're very pricey in the Lakes. I'd look to stay on one of the parks with holiday lodges. Once you get here, visit a Tourist Information centre for leaflets and information regarding places to visit....
Just watched this. Stunningly beautiful. Indescribable. I’ll be traveling there this summer (2019). Just goes to show, no matter the age of the video, still relevant and awe inspiring.
@@ArabellaYT Not quite, because the "mere" part of Windermere means an open body of water. So in effect you'd be saying Lake Winderlake....... The folk in Windermere (town) might get a little miffed. All other large Lakes in the area are actually called Lakes (apart from Coniston Water), but Windermere is the only "mere".... There is of course Thirlmere, but that isn't a lake, it's a man made reservoir, intended as drinking water..
@@Brian-om2hh Almost totally wrong: only one of the lakes is called '...Lake' and that's Bassenthwaite Lake. What about Rydal WATER, GrasMERE, ButterMERE, Crummock WATER, Esthwaite WATER, WastWATER, UllsWATER (...and lots more.) And ThirlMERE might be used as a reservoir, but it IS A LAKE and was merely damned and increased in size by flooding the surrounding valley in 1894, in order to provide a water resource to the city of Manchester! The same applies to Haweswater, which was converted to provide a reservoir in 1929, but even though it's often named as "Haweswater Reservoir", it's STILL a lake.
That was absolutely stunning.The only reason it makes me sad is that I have to wait eight months until I'll be there for the very first time.I'm looking forward to it even more now I've watched the best promo video I've ever seen.
Shhhhh Ron, you'll ruin it for 'em all. I always tell visitors to the Lakes that we get Winter followed by six months of bad weather....... It isn't really that bad. It only rains on days ending in AY.....and it never soaks in any further than your skin.
We enjoyed our time there. We are travelling the world but before we left England we visited the Lake District, doing a car tour of the perimeter. You can see our short video here of our trip which includes staying at WIndermere and walking up Orrest Head. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rhFkgGWEa8o.html
Beautiful England, I had a dream today that an ancient Mayan pyramid was discovered in the UK, it was absolutely huge like a mountain that had covered it until it was ready to be revealed.
It couldn't have happened. They'd have never got it through planning. It's even tougher in the Lakes. Even businesses based in peoples homes have to have any external signage approved by the planners and LDNPA before it can be displayed.
+mrsbringmesunshine Hi Mrs BMS - Thanks for the lovely comments. The boys are about to put up a video of their recent adventure in Norway, and we will be about soon capturing the Autumn, if the rain stops, so look out for more material. Regards John
Beautiful time laps footage. I grew up on the Beatrix Potter side of Windermere. I miss the seasons now I live in London. Thank you for a reminder of what I miss. Thank you for all your time and effort putting this together.
The reputation of England’s Lake District is well deserved - one of the most beautiful places in the World. The downside to this is the climate, you can visit and not see the sun for days on end and the chance of rain is around 60% at any time of year. However even that doesn’t put me off going because of its unique landscape.
“Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry I'm setting off, but not without my muse” Taylor Swift
Most of the lakes are potable, powered boats are allowed on Windermere, Coniston Water, Ullswater and Derwentwater so it's not advisable to drink from these, many of the lakes supply drinking water to towns throughout the Northwest of England ( including Manchester) but the water is treated before reaching the tap.
