Drive up to the borders, quieter and more remote ?

Well, you could try one of these, any of which, in my experience, is better than priests hole! ( if you can get in there!)

Red tarn, beneath Helvellyn.
Sty Head tarn between Great Gable and Sca Fell pike ( well, sort of!)
Middleboot Knots just NW of Broad crag and E of Lingmell ( strangely spiritual this one)
and particularly good- Dalehead tarn just east of Dalehead itself- this one has a cosy sheepfold.

Remember: leave no trace

enjoy

Have a look at this guys website, it`s got some great spots which I`ve used myself from time to time. There are also some good links to other resources on there.
