Pie tourism "taking off in Lake District" by Cheap Flights Booker UK

Holidaymakers planning to visit the Lake District this year can experience one of the region"s latest trends - pie tourism.

The Western Lake District Tourism Partnership revealed that an increasing number of people have been visiting the village of Gosforth over the past two years to sample a local pub"s pies.

Rod Davies first added his supper pie - which includes steak, bacon and mushrooms - to the Gosforth Hall Inn"s menu in January 2008 and the dish has been a big hit among diners.

Several new pies have been added to the menu since, featuring ingredients ranging from wild boar, game and Moroccan lamb to venison, haggis and Stilton cheese.

Visitors can also sample a selection of Cumbrian ales at the Gosforth Hall Inn.

Commenting on the new craze, Mr Davies said: "We really believe that, as a village, we have invented the concept of pie tourism here in Gosforth and are delighted that so many people are making a pie pilgrimage to reach us here."

Gosforth is located near Scafell Pike - England"s highest mountain - and Wastwater, the country"s deepest lake.
