Cumbria - The Lake District

The ambling paths of Cumbria’s great outdoors are the perfect place for stress-busting or adrenaline-pumping. Enjoy the Lakeland views that have inspired poets, writers and painters or get off the beaten track and discover a Cumbria all of your own.

Watch the world go by from bustling coffee shops or ditch the caffeine and get a different kind of buzz as you test your limits on a mountain bike or zip wire. Whether you’re on a sedate stroll or scrambling along cliff faces, there are so many stunning vistas to discover.

Once you've found your way back to one of the Lake District's legendary hotels, take time to enjoy the delicious flavours of some locally produced cuisine. From teashops to Michelin Star restaurants, you can be sure of some great Cumbrian fare. And then make the most of the relaxing evenings unwinding with some real Cumberland ale.
