The Force is strong in Borrowdale…

Did you spot Derwentwater in the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens? You would think we would have noticed TIE Fighters and X-Wings flying through the valley…

Episode 7 is due to be released in December and the first trailer has just been released this week, which features a raging intergalactic battler flying over Derwentwater. At the time of filming it was unclear as to what was being filmed, now it has been revealed that the production was for the seventh installment of the Star Wars franchise.

Watch the below trailer and see if you can spot Derwentwater, Catbells and any other iconic Lake District landmarks…

With our seven hotels located alongside Derwentwater in Borrowdale and Keswick, as well as the equally spectacular Ullswater and Penrith, why not experience the Lake District on our winter breaks? Visit www.lakedistricthotels.net for more details!
