If a lazy amble down the lake doesn’t quite do it for you, maybe you need to get right off the beaten path and try something a little more extreme. How about an off-road drive? Or putting a Segway through its paces across a proper Cumbrian landscape? But you don’t have to stick to terra firma – how about observing the beautiful scenery from above in a gyroplane, or come back to earth with a freefall dive with a parachute? With these and many more, you are sure to have a thrilling time here.
