The Lake District is worth visiting any time of year but there is a definite season from around Easter to October. Outside that time some tourist attractions close down and on a wet January weekend you may not be seeing it at its best.
Spring and Autumn are Take the Family's favourite times of year. Without the tourist crowds, the roads are clearer and so are the busy walking paths.
It's also at its most beautiful with daffodils in the spring and a canopy of red, gold and yellow leaves in the autumn (Wordsworth: eat your Romantic heart out). And with the unpredictable British weather, you're just as likely to get a good spell as in the summer months.

Having lived in other tourist areas where there is a definite end to the season, I would say there is no end to the season in the Lake District - places like Ambleside, Bowness and Windermere are busy all the time, especially at weekends. November to March are the quietest in the busy spots. In our experience you can almost never park in Hawkshead, and the film about Beatrix Potter will bring even more visitors.

Which season are you talking about. The summer season ends at the end of, er, summer. There isn't a winter season as such as it's too darn wet, cold and dark.

I don't think there is an end of season, certainly it gets a lot quieter after October.but there are always tourists around the main towns

I wouldn't go after September - after that it gets too darn cold, wet and the days are too short to have a decent hike!
