Summer

Welcome to August in the Lake District, Cumbria. With the school holidays upon us, there are lots of family friendly activities to enjoy both indoors and out, and our landscapes are in full bloom with summer colour to be seen across the area.

This month, we’re putting Cumbria centre stage and shining a spotlight on film & TV locations and experiences across the region. From Hollywood blockbusters like Bridget Jones and Mission Impossible, to TV dramas, our stunning landscapes have starred in some amazing productions. 

We’ve also got a-list attractions, award-winning experiences, star studded food & drink and so much more to discover. Think afternoon tea on a movie set, Michelin starred dining, and fantastic independent theatres and cinemas where you can catch the latest releases. Get inspired here. 

With so much to do, why not stay a few days? We have plenty of superb accommodation options suitable for all – from luxury hotels to accessible glamping pods, there’s plenty to choose from. Book your stay now and get ready for some wonderful days away!   

Follow along with us this month as we highlight our exciting offering across the county. Keep an eye on our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram and TikTok) and remember to tag us in your photos so we can share our favourites!
