Rainy day ideas

It rains from time to time in the Lake District, but how else did you think we got our fabulous landscapes and those lakes? Still, we’re more than prepared for the occasional downpour, and there’s plenty to do while taking shelter from the elements.

The county’s collection of museums alone could keep you busy for a year, whether it’s visiting the homes of William Wordsworth or Beatrix Potter, learning about life on the lake at the spectacular new boat museum on Windermere, or uncovering the fascinating history of the humble pencil, which we-bet-you-didn’t-know was invented in Keswick back in the 16th century. Don’t knock it until you try it!

You can watch Beatrix Potter’s most memorable creations come to life in Bowness or explore the miner’s life deep in a mountain at Honister. The county’s waterfalls are best visited when there’s been a downpour – Aira Force and Stock Ghyll are powerful examples of nature’s extraordinary force and beauty.

Lake cruises depart in all weathers, as do Cumbria’s railroads – what better way of whiling away a wet day than aboard a 19th century steam train? And if you want to work up a proper sweat, there are indoor climbing walls in Ambleside, Kendal `and Keswick.

Cumbria’s towns are well worth a mooch in their own right: Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside and Kendal are beautiful places lined with independent shops and cafes, but you can go farther afield and while away a few hours in the shopping havens of Rheged, near Penrith (where there’s also an IMAX cinema); and Carlisle, whose busy centre is full of distractions (and there’s a pretty impressive castle and cathedral too).

Inspiration

  1. What's On
    Use our calendar to learn more about what's on in the Lake District and Cumbria. We have great events, concerts, festivals, and workshops on year-round!
  2. Farfield Mill, Sedbergh
    Museums
    Cumbria’s rich history is ever-present in every village and town, but if you need a little interpretation, then head for one of the county’s many museums.
  3. Old Laundry Theatre, Windermere
    Theatre & Live Performance
    A night at the theatre is always enjoyable, but in the Lake District we like to make things extra special.
  4. Keswick Alhambra Cinema
    Films & Cinema
    Enjoy a great film or screening at the best independent cinemas in the Lake District, Cumbria.
  5. Galleries and Exhibitions - Tullie House, Carlisle
    Galleries & Exhibitions
    In Cumbria you’ll find a range of art galleries and exhibition spaces that host a constantly changing menu of works in virtually every medium.

You may leave the Lake District, but once you’ve been, it’ll never leave you.
