There is no evidence I am aware that the population is older than many of the dormitory suburbs of cities. Around where I live the average age must be seventy.

So South Lakeland has a pretty high median age - 67.9 - vs 40 for the rest of the country.

As to going to second homes - most experts disagree with you. You would be mixing with different people, so risking spreading and getting infection, and when you return "home" you will take anything you pick up with you.
