top 10 places to propose in the lake district...

Loughrigg Tarn, Elterwater

 Dizzy your loved one by taking them to the top of the world at this fantastic hidden spot boasting tremendous views across the Langdale Pikes. Capture the romance by asking the ultimate question beside the clear blue water adorned with beautiful water lilies.

Jenkyn's Crag, Ambleside

One of the most romantic spots in The Lake District, Jenkyn's Crag is a flat cliff top perfectly suited for getting down on one knee. Watch their eyes well with joy against a stunning backdrop of glistening Lake Windermere.

Aira Force, Ullswater

Wait for your loved one to gush with joy after popping the question against the backdrop of this spectacular waterfall. Whisper sweet nothings as you wander through the surrounding woodland, retracing the steps of the biggest Romantic of all, William Wordsworth.

Catbells and Ashness Bridge, Keswick

Whinlatter Forest, near Keswick

The Lake District Lovestone, Langdale Chase Hotel, Windermere

There are so many romantic views to be had alongside Windermere but none so special, for one couple at least, than in the immaculate grounds of Langdale Chase Hotel. Last year Andy Rayfield, from Kent, won a national competition by composing an inspiring love message for his then fiancée, now wife, Nikki. The message was inscribed on a one-tonne hunk of Cumbrian slate and set in the grounds commanding beautiful views befitting the beautiful words. If you struggle to catch the right words why not use someone else's!
