Getting around Cumbria is a cinch – whether you opt for the bus, the train (including our fabulous collection of steam trains) or a traditional steamboat across the lakes. You can use your own wheels, of course, but that means you’ll have to keep at least one eye on the road - which doesn’t give you as much scope to soak up the glorious scenery.
