the Lake District of course. On a bus to Windermere to make my way home, driver stops on Kirkstone Pass insisting we all get out to take a photo then gives us a short talk on the area. Kirkstone Pass, Lake District, EnglandTheir review reads: "Jaw-dropping photo opps abound from the top of Kirkstone Pass, which soars more than 450 metres high and connects Windermere and Patterdale. "The snaking road that zig-zags through verdant mountain scenery has the accolade of being the highest pass in the Lake District, with the road to Ambleside given the moniker “the struggle” for its steepness. Pull up a chair under oak beams at The Kirkstone Pass Inn, England’s third highest pub — and order a Cumbrian rosehip gin."
