Flybmi to Ms. Potter's Lake District
Let bmi’s relaxing flights to Manchester prepare you for a visit to the Lake District, the idyllic area that has inspired many poets and authors including Beatrix Potter. She created a number of wonderful characters such as Peter Rabbit, Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Salley Henny Penny and Mr. Jeremy Fisher that you can envision even today while visiting Hill Top, her home.
Besides its rich literary and cultural traditions, The Lake District will captivate you with its picturesque villages and majestic views of 16 lakes including Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake. It’s a wonderful place to explore—driving, walking, cycling, and by boat–-and a place to leave all your stress behind. Why not plan a trip to this part of England’s North Country now.
From more than 17 cities in the US, bmi can take you to Lake Distric via Manchester, England.
