Lakes in Cumbria
One of the greatest things about a Cumbrian holiday has to be the lakes.

Discover lovely circular walks that skirt the water’s edge or visit the welcoming lakeside towns such as Bowness-on-Windermere for a selection of toothsome eateries with stunning views. Whether you fancy sailing across Coniston Water or a relaxing cruise on Ullswater is more your speed, the gorgeous lakes of Cumbria offer a memorable visit for all.

Literature lovers and children alike will delight at the magic and wonder on display at The World of Beatrix Potter museum, while Dove Cottage offers a peek into the life and works of William Wordsworth, who wrote many of his incredible poems while living in Grasmere. From ancient stone circles to historic castles, there are lots of fascinating remnants of Cumbria’s rich past scattered throughout the undulating landscapes. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle for incredible views and a sprinkle of mystery or Carlisle Castle and nearby Hadrian’s Wall for a slice of history with a side of grandeur.
