Hello! My sister and I are going to go to London next year and are really wanting to take a trip to the Lake District for a few days along the way to Edinburgh. She's a genealogy buff and has tracked our family back to Cumbria and Low Lorton. We think it'd be neat to see the area.

I have found that we can take the train to Oxenholme, but what do you suggest, without renting a car and driving, (instead of going to Oxenholme) for the easiest way to get to these areas?

Any suggestions or ideas? This is all totally new to me so please don't yell at me for asking a dumb question!

Thanks!
