Lake District and the Cotswolds

Me and my husband are planning to go for a holidya in England to either the Lake District or the cots. Any tips and suggestions on accomodation, what to see etc. P.S we are also travelling with our 9 month old daughter. thanks

well, if <u>everything</u> interests you - then either area would be great. They - along w/ Cornwall - are the most popular touring/holiday areas in the country.

Really don't know how to help you since you really can't go wrong w/ either one. And early Autumn is a good time to visit both.

The Lakes - more hiking/dramatic scenery. The Cotswolds - more gentle scenery, and picture postcard villages.

Decide which area you want and then we can help you more . . . .

If you do not have or want to have a car then Lake District is much easier to get around in by public transit then Cotswold Hills are, where buses are sporadic.

Double-deckers and mini-buses lace the Lake District with hop on and hop off services frequently.
