Freelance illustrator Sarah Jane Docker, raised in a UK coastal town, now calls England's Lake District home, finding inspiration by the water.
The Old Man of Coniston
Mountain peak
Coniston LA21 8HX, United Kingdom
"Coniston Old Man, which is quite a touristy fell in the Lakes, is 803 meters tall. It makes for great hiking in summer and winter. It’s a great introductory hike as well if you’ve not hiked a lot before. Great views."

Haystacks
Mountain peak
Cockermouth CA13 9XA, United Kingdom
"There's a set of fells called Haystacks. You can spend a whole day hiking up there. The best bit is on the way down after you're all sweaty and hot in the summer, there are waterfall pools — like an infinity pool, but natural."

Chesters by The River
Cafe
Ambleside LA22 9NJ, United Kingdom
"Chesters by The River is a vegetarian-vegan cafe. You can sit out by the river on the balcony and it's just really wholesome food. Really tasty."

Coniston Copper Mines
Historical landmark
Coniston LA21 8HX, United Kingdom
"In Coniston, on Coniston Old Man, there’s a disused copper mine. It’s this massive cavern and there’s all these mining bits and cliffs inside of it."
