Windermere Lake Cruises
Unsurprisingly, in Cumbria the lakes are the stars of the show, and you can enjoy them without getting your feet wet. A Windemere lake cruise is the region's most popular attraction and the best way to experience the spectacular scenery. Take a short 45 minute tour, or relax and enjoy a full day out on the beautiful water.

Grizedale Forest (Go Ape, Art Trail & North Face Trail)
At Grizedale Forest the great outdoors lives up to it's name. It's the Lake District's natural playground: there's a Go Ape to challenge you, or your little monkeys; while mountain bikers of every level can get their kicks on the miles of woodland trails. Finally, for a cultural experience with an active difference there are 90 amazing sculptures to discover as you ride, climb or just stroll by.

Dove Cottage
Step straight into a poem with a visit to Dove Cottage, the home of William Wordsworth. Inspired by its amazing setting, it was here that he 'wandered lonely as a cloud.' Hear about his daily life, and his famous visitors on a literary experience to write home about.

Forget the car, get behind a different wheel at the Rheged visitor's centre. Whatever the weather, you can happily while away a few hours…swap the wide blue yonder for a widescreen movie at the 3D cinema, taste some delicious local specialties or get creative, it's up to you.
