Rick Steves covers the essentials of England's Lake District, including Keswick and the North Lake District, as well as the South Lake District. Visit Derwentwater, one of Cumbria's most photographed and popular lakes, or explore South Lake District's Ullswater by hike or boat.

Rick Steves' Snapshot guides consist of excerpted chapters from Rick Steves' European country guidebooks. Snapshot guides are a great choice for travelers visiting a specific city or region, rather than multiple European destinations. These slim guides offer all of Rick's up-to-date advice on what sights are worth your time and money. They include good-value hotel and restaurant recommendations, with no introductory information (such as overall trip planning, when to go, and travel practicalities).
