The perfect place to be this Christmas - The Lake District, Cumbria

‘Tis the season to be jolly, and we’ve got plenty to get you into the festive spirit in the Lake District, Cumbria.


Winter is a truly wonderful time to visit: our landscapes are striking in their seasonal splendour, there are lots of Christmas markets, events to enjoy and winter walks that are great followed by a warming brew in a pub or café.

If you’re dreaming of a magical staycation this winter, there’s still time to book your getaway to the Lake District, Cumbria. With plenty of accommodation options to choose from, including welcoming country inns, luxurious spa hotels, modern self catering accommodation and more, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Book your stay and enjoy a last minute stay in stunning surroundings.
 

For the ultimate festive break, opt for a cosy Lakeland cottage with The Coppermines Lakes Cottages. Whether it’s a private hot tub, proximity to the pub, or a dog-friendly place for your pets to rest their paws, The Coppermines have got you covered.
 

Once you’re here, it’s time to get into the seasonal spirit. High streets in Cumbrian towns and villages are looking resplendent in their festive finery, bringing the magic of Christmas to one and all. As well as fantastic shopping in our towns and villages, there is also a plethora of Christmas markets to enjoy this month. Wrap up warm, grab a mulled wine, and browse locally made gifts, from crafts to food and drink.
 

You can still support our local businesses even when you aren’t here in person. Why not give the gift of award-winning skin care from Pure Lakes, made by hand in the heart of the Lake District and available to buy online? Perhaps pick up a gift voucher for a perfect Lake District gift experience, or browse gifts from a selection of Cumbrian retailers with our Virtual Christmas market, and get a piece of the Lake District delivered straight to your door.
