Booking ahead is always recommended – especially in the peak summer season from mid June to the end of August. Key peaks in tourist numbers occur around the school half-terms and summer holidays, as well as at weekends with day-trippers. For those seeking a quieter time, early to mid June and the autumn (apart from the half-term) are far less busy; you’ll have more accommodation options and you might also have the trails and fells to yourself.
