Illinois Beach State Park and Campground

You drive around a corner and some meandering sheep are blocking your way, round the next corner and you are seeing a beautiful mountainside, a quaint little village, then a sparkling lake. We believe that it is the most beautiful place in England and after you read on and see the amazing pictures we bet you will too!
