The Lakes are a Haven From Norse Princes
In addition to providing sanctuary from zombies, the Lake District offered similar protection for St Bega who fled to the area from Ireland.
Her father, an Irish chieftain in the seventh century, had promised her hand in marriage to a Norse prince.
She chose instead to come to the Lake District and devote the rest of her life to serving God. A small church, set in beautiful surroundings by Lake Bassenthwaite, has been named after her.
