These days, everything is about ‘experiential travel,’ which is just another way of describing doing something that you’ll remember. In the Lake District, Cumbria, we’ve been creating experiences since tourism first started - after all, when Wordsworth went for a walk and spotted some gorgeous daffodils, it was an experience that inspired him to write one of the most famous poems in the English language.
You don’t need to be a poet to enjoy the different experiences we have to offer. From off-road adventures to cocktail masterclasses, we’ve got a set of memorable activities that will stay with you long after you’ve gone home.
