WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THE LAKE DISTRICT? The peace – it is like the Lake District but without the crowds.
I have lived in the Dales for 25 years and there is no place like it. I'd be happy to stay here now - it's very relaxing.
AND THE WORST? There is nothing bad about the Dales. I can't think of anything bad around here.
FAVOURITE PLACE TO EAT? It is on the border but I really like eating in the Wray Inn. The food is good, the staff are nice and the price is great too.
FAVOURITE PLACE TO SHOP? Settle is good.
It is a nice town with lots of shops which are good sizes, not too big but there is enough to keep you interested.
SUM UP THE LAKES IN 5 WORDS Peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, exciting and different.
