Here’s another aside. Because the Lake District is do beautiful, it inevitably attract heaps of tourists. No problem with that in and of itself, but over time it tends to cheapen the experience. To give an example, two of the bigger towns on Lake Windermere, Bowness and Ambleside, are awash with franchised cafes and restaurants. They cater for the hoards that arrive on coaches, take the ferry ride and scurry back to their hotels. They have a lot of fun, I’m sure. As a result of this market, it seems that the old family-run venture has given way to the fast-food chains. It seems a pity, but it seems to work.
