A trip to the World of Beatrix Potter? What about some quad biking, Go-Karting or a family trip aboard segways? Amp up the thrill factor at Go Ape in Grizedale Forest and Whinlatter, or test your mettle at the Infinity Bridge at Honister Slate Mine. Or how about getting all Willy Wonka with a visit to the Children’s Chocolate Factory in Hawkshead?
