October Half Term Holidays in the Lakes

October is simply an incredible time for a family break in the Lake District National Park. There are family-focussed events taking place across the Lakes, from pumpkin picking and ghost walks and from tree top adventures to halloween train rides – you’ll be spoilt for choice for days out and things to do.

Across the Lake District, the scenery is at its most spectacular during October. The fells, mountains and woodland are ablaze with a riot of warm golds, rich oranges and burnt reds.

Days can be spent crunching through freshly fallen leaves. You can wander amongst ancient trees in their full autumnal glory. You can admire wondrously colourful displays of mushrooms, toadstools and other fascinating fungi. And you can gaze at spectacular fellsides swathed in crisp & curling bronzed bracken.

And after a day spent experiencing the magnificence of the season, you can go on to enjoy a cosy evening in front of a roaring log fire in your own cosy Lake District cottage.

Or you can settle down in one of the many friendly and welcoming Lake District pubs, serving fantasic local food and wonderful real ale.
