Places to visit:

The Lake District:

Cumbria, with its mountains, fells and lakes is simply one huge visitor attraction where nature provides as many thrills as you can handle. You can enjoy cruises on the lakes, especially Windermere, trace the fascinating history of the region in a variety of innovative museums and galleries. You’ll find old railways offering a return to the graceful age of steam, and exciting towns like Kendal, Penrith and Keswick packed with exciting places to visit and things to do.

You can check out the haunts of poets like Wordsworth, and enjoy the farms and countryside which inspired children’s writer Beatrix Potter. This is also some of Britain’s finest walking country, with walks as relaxed or as strenuous as you choose.
