One big thing I noticed was in the 2 weeks we were there we never saw any dog muck or litter considering the amount of people and dogs we saw, why can't people be like that at home it goes to show it can be done, another thing is we never saw 1 staffie everyone has dogs because they love them not for a status symbol.
Village life is great everyone is so friendly and all the shops are dog friendly I even got told off for standing outside with Sheba in the rain. Even Sheba's favourite treats were reduced to less than half price the shop assistant said Christmas is just as much about the dogs as it is us I love her way of thinking. It was a dog walkers paradise.
Were we stayed was just 2 minutes walk from the medieval village of Hawkshead which hasn't changed in all them centuries it's still a maze of higgledy-piggledy cobbled streets, a typical village consisting of a church, chemist, post office and four pubs.
The Lake District landscape was forged in the ice age which is why there are so many lakes and tarns around the place formed by big sheets of ice sliding down the mountains.
It will take me to much time to go in depth about the history so I will provide links for you to browse at your pleasure.
