"When moving to the Lake District, you should pack appropriate clothing for the region's cool and wet climate, including waterproof jackets, warm layers, and sturdy footwear for outdoor activities. Don't forget to bring an umbrella and a good quality raincoat, as well as hats, gloves, and scarves for colder months. Pack essential documents such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary medical records. Bring any prescription medications you may need, along with a basic first aid kit. If you plan on participating in outdoor activities, consider packing hiking gear, such as a backpack, walking poles, and a reusable water bottle. You may also want to bring a camera or binoculars for capturing the beautiful scenery. For your new home, pack essential household items like bedding, towels, and kitchenware. You may also want to bring some personal items to make your new space feel more like home, such as photographs, artwork, and small decorative items. Lastly, don't forget to pack any electronic devices you may need, such as your phone, laptop, and chargers, as well as a power adapter if you're coming from a country with different electrical outlets," remarked another expat who made the move to Lake District, England.
