The Lake District, Cumbria sits in England’s northwestern corner and has the wonderful quality of feeling remote and out of the way – but is still close to everywhere else and well-connected to all major transport links.
You can explore the region in a bunch of different ways. You can do it under your own steam by hiring a car or camper van, or let our excellent public transportation network do all the work so that you can sit back and soak up the spectacular views.
To help you get started, we have some more information on sustainable adventures by rail around the county and we've also put together a series of Cumbrian Rail Trails, that you can download and take with you.
Travel at your leisure. Admire unforgettable views from a train or an open-top bus, get close to the landscapes by boat, by bike, on foot, or even by electric car. Savour every moment. Make every journey count.
