Seasons

The Lake District, Cumbria is a great place to visit at any time of the year, with all four seasons offering a different take on this beautiful landscape. Check out just some of the best reasons to visit in each season.

  1. Springtime in the Lake District, Cumbria
    Spring
    The flowers are in bloom, the woods are a carpet of bluebells, wood sorrel and wild garlic. The new leaves shine like emeralds and the sheep have been brought down from the fells to lamb and graze in the warmer, low-lying pastures.
  2. Summer in the Lake District, Cumbria
    Summer
    A Cumbrian summer is when England’s most alluring corner revels in its beauty. It’s time for a ramble across the fells, the clear skies making for the most stunning views. A day on a lake, soaking up the soft waves and glorious summer rays.
  3. Autumn in the Lake District, Cumbria
    Autumn
    Autumn in Cumbria sees the county undergo a beautiful change in scenery. The sweeping valleys turn to shades of orange, yellow and gold as autumn begins to take hold of the countryside, making for some truly spectacular views.
  4. Winter in the Lake District, Cumbria
    Winter
    Winter is a truly wonderful time to visit the Lake District, Cumbria. Our landscapes are striking in their seasonal splendour, with the chance of snow on higher ground and stunning morning frosts to admire. There are winter walks to enjoy, follower by a warming brew in a pub or café; and plenty of festive events to help you celebrate Christmas in style.
