  1. Cycling on the Solway Coast
    Things to Do in the Western Lake District & Coast

You are here: Home > Explore Cumbria > Areas of Cumbria > Western Lake District & Coast > Things to Do - Western Lakes & Coast

Things to Do - Western Lakes & Coast

Cumbria is known for the sheer beauty of its lakes and mountains, but did you know that we are also blessed with miles upon miles of stunning coastline? If you’re seeking peace and tranquillity, the Western Lake District and Coast is just the place, with its wide sandy beaches; stunning sunsets; and natural beauty. 

Experience the breath-taking sensation of trotting along the beach on horseback, or challenge yourself to climb England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike. There are also scenic coastal walks like the King Charles III England Coast Path and the Coast to Coast National Trail, as well as the Solway Coaster - a flat cycling route between Allonby and Silloth.

The western Lakes District and coast is the perfect place for a family holiday, with plenty of attractions and activities to keep the kids entertained. Take them on a narrow-gauge steam train ride in an open top carriage or explore a historic castle and watch a birds of prey show. There are plenty of interactive museums for all to enjoy, too.

The area is bursting with myths and legends of times gone by. The Hadrian’s Wall UNESCO World Heritage Site extends down the Cumbrian coast, and there are plenty of places to learn about its history and walk in the footsteps of Romans. Visit an original Roman fort in Maryport; or discover one of the best remaining examples of a Roman bath house in the village of Ravenglass. Head to places like Whitehaven to learn more about the area's maritime heritage.

Fancy something a bit different? Quirky events like the legendary World Gurning Championships take place every year, and make for a unique experience.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing break, an action-packed adventure or a culture-filled family holiday, you’ll find the Western Lake District and Cumbrian Coast is the perfect place to be.
