Lake District, Great Britain
The final place in our selection goes to the Lake District in Great Britain. Indeed, the area includes almost 60 lakes. We relied on the opinions of local inhabitants, who agree that the most beautiful of these is Wastwater Lake, which is also the most remote and therefore the most peaceful of them all. If you visit in autumn, you will be enchanted by the atmosphere of this luxurious place.
