The first lambs of the years have just been born in the Lake District but many will still being born around Easter and the fields will be full of these tiny little animals. Daffodils have a great connection to the Lake District due to Wordworth's poem "Daffodils". "I wandered lonely as a cloud - That floats on high o'er vales and hills, - When all at once I saw a crowd, - A host, of golden daffodils; - Beside the lake, beneath the trees, - Fluttering and dancing in the breeze." It was the daffodils around Ullswater that inspired Wordsworth to write this hugely famous poem. So for a romantic break, Ullswater is ideal coupled with some of the best lake District hotels in the area.
Ullswater is the second largest lake in the Lake District at a length of 8 miles.
