A string of small villages along the coast of Cumbria have been named as the most isolated place to live in the north west - and among the most remote in England.
Ravenglass, and surrounding hamlets of Eskmeals and Hyton, are far removed from the main tourist traps of the Lake District, making the quaint settlements a hidden gem.
The sandy shores of Ravenglass, around two-and-a-half hours' drive from Manchester, mean it's the only coastal village in the boundary of the Lake District National Park.

But the area is so off the beaten track that it takes residents nearly half an hour to the nearest primary school, while the nearest secondary school is two hours away by foot, and more than an hour away by public transport or bike, figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show.
It takes two hours to walk or more than an hour to take public transport to the nearest GP, while the nearest hospital is around two hours away by foot and bike, or an hour and a half away by public transport.
It also takes nearly an hour and 45 minutes to walk to the nearest food shops.
While connectivity and easy access to amenities isn't its main draw, people living in the area can soak up stunning postcard views and take in its rich history.
Ravenglass was originally a Roman naval base, and its once busy port saw ships travel from across the Roman Empire to provide supplies to forts at Hardknott and Ambleside.
It's a special place where two UNESCO World Heritage Sites meet – Hadrian’s Wall and the Lake District National Park.
The village not only has its own castle, but boasts its own steam railway - The Ravenglass and Eskdale
