After staying in Windermere for one night, Mr. Selfish and I went to Keswick, which is deep within the Lake District.
We decided to climb the Catbells, which is a 1,480 feet tall fell. From the top, you can get a wonderful view of Derwent Lake. It is a rather steep and sometimes slippery climb, but definitely worth hiking.

I had always regretted not visiting the Lake District in the U.K. during the summer of my study abroad at Cambridge. Mr. Selfish and I accordingly spent three lovely nights in the Lake District. We stayed at Windermere for a night and then spent two evenings in Keswick. The Lakes were definitely everything that I thought they would be – absolutely beautiful.
As soon as we arrived in Windermere, we made our way to the Orrest Head in order to enjoy the sunset. It was only 423 feet up and very easy to climb. We saw lots of sheep and cows on the way up happily grazing about.
