Where is this? The most #beautiful places in #England Please #comment, #like and #share this photo The Lake District Travel Editor Greg chose this area of natural beauty, and in particular Kirkstone Pass, as one of the most beautiful places he’s been in England. The highest mountain pass in the country, Kirkstone is a beautiful drive or cycle. There are incredible views and great hikes to be had, while the Kirkstone Pass Inn, an old coaching house dating back to the fifteenth century, is a great base for exploring the area. Some believe it's haunted by travellers who used to pass through.
