Agree with ref to John Ruskin; his home Brantwood graces the shores of Coniston. There are so many more – including Tennyson, the Brontes, Thackeray, Hugh Walpole & the Rogue Herris series, Sir Walter Scott, our very own Melvyn Bragg and Hunter Davies … oh so many. And then the painters – Turner, Constable …. etc A truly quirkiliciously inspiring place – as you know so well!

I certainly don't think it's a co-incidence for so many high profile names to emanate from the Lakes. What better inspiration could you wish for when living in such a beautiful area?

We walked up Wansfell Pike yesterday… and it was a glorious day. Truly magical.
