Rick Steves' Europe
North England’s Lake District and Durham
Season 7
Episode 709
Hiking through the Cumbrian Lake District—England's green and pristine mountain playground—we admire idyllic lakes, discover misty waterfalls, tour a slate mine, and conquer stony summits. And we'll meet the locals—and their beloved dogs and sheep—everywhere. Then we play a little cricket, hike Hadrian’s Wall, and are dazzled by Durham’s Norman cathedral.
