English Lake District and Cumbria

Hi, I am Carl Bendelow. I have long lived in Cumbria, spending much of my working life in its countryside. I am able to arrange and guide you through a visit that will enhance your appreciation of this part of the north of England. If you want to discuss a possible visit please contact me (as below) to informally discuss your requirements. I specialise in small groups looking at rural life and can lead you to places off the main tourist tracks. Accommodation can be arranged in traditional farmhouses or quality hotels, transport by car, minibus or hire car, collection from main line rail stations.

This map links to images of the Cumbrian countryside and towns which I have visited in my travels. There are links to further information and they give an appreciation of the many places worth a visit. However, the pictures are only part of the story, they do not show the people and communities that created the landscape, ancient monuments, historic buildings farms, towns and villages.
