Wonderful easy walk takes around 1-2 hours mainly flat. Nice walk if you have young children and pushchairs. National trust car park can get busy and they charge £7 for 4 years. Toilets are availab…Full review by CazzaWestMids

Hi am planning to do a 10 day trip from 23rd Dec’16 to 2nd of Jan’17 covering, a) 1/2 days in lake district (23rd / 24th Dec), b) 3/4 days (25-28) in Edinburgh and c) 3/4 (29th - 2nd) days in London. What are the must do things in each place? Are there any special Christmas events in Edinburgh for which we need to book tickets ahead of time ? Also is it worthwhile to do the highlands / Scotland? Can we cover Edinburgh + Highlands in 3-4 days or need more time? We are planning to drive down from Chester (where i currently work) to Edinburgh – Are there any places that we can see enroute? From there to London, what are the best options for travel - Will travel by train/bus be worthwhile or flight options? Are we missing out by not doing some other places which are better than say Lake District? Sorry for the long list of questions, I am new to UK and would appreciate any help?

You will need to check public transport as many routes shut down for Christmas and new year, and keep an eye ontheweather. Scotland has an extra day holiday for new year. The Lake District is beautiful but I hired a car to get round the buses are mostly hourly service but there is one service I think you have to book in advance.
I am planning for 2day trip in lake district on Dec 24 and 25..suggest me some very important places to cover

The walk around Tarn Howes takes about an hour. The path is very good and there's plenty of parking. If you have a car suggest you take the ferry across Windermere to Hawkeshead. There are some nice pubs and cafes. From there Tarn Howes is well signed
