We will be visiting the Lake District in late August. Looks like a beautiful area to unwind after 4 days in Liverpool for international Beatles week. We will be driving so looking for input if three nights and two full days is plenty of time or should we add a fourth night and third full day? We would be focusing in the North area as Rick suggests.

What sort of things are you wanting to do/see. List them and then work out how long you need.... Some people have exhausted the Lakes in two days. Others reckon a week. It all depends on your interests. If you are planning doing any walking then definitely add an extra day.

I am a bit concerned about this being 'late August'. It sounds like it will or could coincide with the late Summer Public Holiday and the last week of the schools vacation.
You will be seeing and experiencing the Lake District at it's busiest, especially if the weather is good, especially in Keswick itself.
