Let your imagination soar in Cumbria and the Lake District. Whatever you fancy, chances are we’ve got it, whether it’s award-winning museums about almost everything – from ancient history to motorcars, from boats to pencils – to visiting the houses of some of England’s most famous writers.
Some of our best-known attractions are about engaging directly with the beautiful landscapes: from boat hire options on Lake Windermere to tackling the Via Ferrata at Honister Slate Mine. Whatever your age, whatever your interest, we’ve something for you to see and do. All you need to do is show up.
