North West England Cottages
North West England consists of five counties; Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester and Cumbria. Lying between the North Sea and the Pennines, the region has beautiful countryside scenery that is unmatched in the rest of the United Kingdom For North West England cottages see the featured properties below.
Despite the significant impact of the Industrial Revolution on these parts, large swathes of North West England remain unspoilt. The Lake District, set in the Cumbrian Mountains is the most distinctive region; 16 major lakes and 4 mountains including Scaffell Pike stand at over 3000 ft and combine to form some dramatic, awe-inspiring landscapes. Towns like Keswick and
Windermere allow the visitor to truly appreciate the magnificence of the region.
Lancashire, despite the mills, factories and mines that once dominated the area, is actually one of the most varied of the north western counties. The
Lancashire plain for example, is a rural, wooded country with sheltered hamlets and villages that pepper the countryside near Pendle Hill. Further north is the Bowland Forest and the green valley of the River Lune. It all seems rather detached from the proud Industrial Heritage so often talked about.
The main holiday resorts of the North West are Southport, Blackpool and Morecombe. These towns draw huge numbers of visitors each year. Despite the large volume of tourists that visit, they possess an undeniable charm that is quintessentially Northern. The Blackpool tower and Southport Pier are the most notable attractions.
