Inspiration
Cumbria’s beautiful landscapes have long since animated literary imaginations, from Romantic poets to radical thinkers and beyond to some of the 20th century’s most celebrated authors. See the authentic settings where these international names put pen to paper...- It’s no wonder that the Lake District, Cumbria – the inspiration for poets and creative types, is a vibrant centre for the performing arts. There is a fantastic programme of events already booking up fast at our superb theatres and performance venues.
- If you are a film buff the Lake District, Cumbria is home to a delightful cluster of independent cinemas showing everything from Hollywood blockbusters to thought-provoking arthouse releases.
- 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. It’s nice to see art hanging on a brightly lit wall, or to see beautifully made craftwork on a plinth, but in Cumbria we also invite you to explore the studios and workshops where that work was made, and even to meet the artist that made it.
- Cumbria’s rich history is ever-present in every village and town, on every fell and deep in every valley, but if you need a little interpretation, then head for one of the county’s many museums.
- Whatever the time of year, Cumbria is celebrating something. From music to film and food to beer, Cumbria and the Lake District is home to a wide selection of fantastic festivals. Take a look at our list and find what celebration works for you.
- Fabulous scenery looks good on camera, and in Cumbria we have plenty of it to go around. The Lake District has been a natural set for a host of films, including Miss Potter (2006), starring Renee Zellweger in the title role. Locations included Loughrigg and Grasmere as well as Yew Tree Farm in Coniston, which was conveniently owned by Potter herself.
