Get Europe Airline Tickets and Head to the Lake District!

I recently decided it was time to take a well-earned break from my job and go on an overseas holiday. At my Brooklyn travel agency, I found out about cheap Europe airline tickets and got an amazingly good deal on a flight to London. I hired a car and took off to the Lake District, a beautiful part of North-West England.

The best part of the trip was becoming more connected to some of the great figures in 18th and 19th century English literature. I visited all the towns where William Wordsworth lived – Hawkshead, Grasmere and Rydal Mount – and read his poems, including “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,” over and over.

Another highlight was visiting Beatrix Potter’s residence at Hill Top farm, which was the inspiration for her Peter Rabbit books. Seeing her lovely house and charming cottage garden filled with flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables was like going back in time. It was so adorable!

As well as taking literary excursions, I spent plenty of time just wandering around the lakes, admiring the rolling green hills, and breathing in the fresh air. I love the Lake District, and can’t wait to return!
