Airports

It has never been easier to fly to Cumbria. The brand-new Carlisle Lake District Airport opened in summer 2019. It means you can working be at your desk in London, Dublin or Belfast on a Friday afternoon and later that same day find yourself paddling in the lake at Ullswater whilst watching the sun set behind the dramatic Lakeland mountains. Loganair fly direct to Cumbria from Belfast City, Dublin and London Southend.

Cumbria and the Lake District are also within easy reach of Manchester Airport, which has services throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. Hop on a train at the airport and you’ll be in Windermere within a couple of hours. Airports in Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh are also only a couple of hours from Cumbria by rail or car.
