About Lake District
The Lake District has it all, stunning scenery, picture-perfect villages, and plenty of opportunities for thrill seekers too.
The Lake District is made up of 19 tranquil lakes and 25 summits including England’s highest mountain, the formidable Scafell Pike. Whether you think of the peaks and pools of water as your natural playground or the perfect setting for a relaxing break, you won’t be disappointed. With an abundance of flora and fauna, it’s no wonder that William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter were so inspired when they penned their much-loved works in the region and now you can see why for yourself.
Between basking on beaches (yes, we said beaches) and scaling Scafell, why not feast on local delicacies including Cumberland sausage, Kendal mint cakes and Hawkshead Relish? For a real flavour of the National Park, you might want to take a stroll through the region’s quaint villages and enjoy a drink in one of many centuries-old pubs. Taps at the old-world inns are filled with local ales brewed just a stones-throw away.
Hikes, cycle trails and other adventures in the Lake District
Hikes, cycle trails and other adventures in the Lake District
The Lake District doesn’t disappoint land lovers either. There are plenty of cycling routes, bridleways and other opportunities to get some exercise in the great outdoors.
- Walking in the Lake District - Whether you’re a hiking newbie or a seasoned rambler the Lake District has plenty of paths on offer to suit all walking abilities. There are even 48 ‘Miles without Stiles’ routes scattered throughout the park that are suitable for people with limited mobility. Take a guided tour or follow the map yourself, the choice is yours.
- Cycling in the Lake District - Thousands of tourists head to Cumbria every year to take on the county’s cycling paths. Why not join them and pedal your way through winding country lanes or take things off road on a mountain bike with decent suspension. If your new to life in the cycle lane we recommend taking the leisurely routes starting from the visitor centres at Ambleside, Bowness or Coniston.
- Rock climbing and abseiling in the Lake District - If you prefer a bit more of an adrenaline rush you could always try a spot of rock climbing or abseiling. You’ll find qualified instructors at Mountain Journeys in Ambleside or Mere Mountains in Flookburgh. For something more suitable for the kids but equally as fun, why not try a junior tree top trek at Go Ape, Grizedale Forest.
