Activities

The Lake District has been an inspiration for the romantics for generations. Poets such as Wordsworth and Coleridge, the writer and philosopher, John Ruskin and countless artists have been moved to create works of brilliance amongst the lakes, valleys and mountains.

Christmas is a brilliant time to visit the Lake District. When the snow is lying on the hills and lights are glittering in the streets, there’s a real festive feel to the region. While many people visit during the summer, it is just as popular during the winter months.

While we can all agree that walking in the summertime is undoubtedly glorious, nothing can quite compare to a cold, crisp winter walk for clearing out the cobwebs. As your lungs fill with that cool mountain air you can feel those wintry worries simply melt away.

The Lake District is a fantastic place to visit any time of the year but it’s particularly magical over the winter months. Christmas, when there’s snow on the hills and frost on the ground is wonderful and there are plenty of activities to keep you and the family busy.

Autumn is simply an incredible time to visit the Lake District National Park. During the autumnal months your days can be spent crunching through freshly fallen leaves. You can enjoy the excitement at finding a big shiny conker. You can admire wondrously colourful displays of mushrooms, toadstools and other fascinating fungi. You can wander amongst ancient trees ablaze with golden, red and orange hues. And you can gaze at spectacular fellsides swathed in crisp & curling bronzed bracken.

Half term can be a nightmare if you need to find something to keep the kids busy. Planning some time away and exploring new adventures is one option. If you love magnificent scenery with plenty to do and see, the Lake District is the perfect location to book a break for all the family this October.

Summer in the Lake District would not be complete without a picnic. Whether it is a full foodie affair with all the family, a quick sandwich at the top of a fell, or a family feast in the car while it is raining, these picnics will give you memories for years to come.
