Destination
The Lake District
England's most beautiful national park — 90 minutes from Scotch Corner.
The A66 west out of Scotch Corner is one of the great British drives. In roughly 90 minutes you're crossing Bassenthwaite into Keswick, with Derwentwater, Skiddaw, Buttermere and the northern fells all within a short hop. Hire our van and skip the Airbnb — you can wake up beside the lake.
