So many people have been inspired by the Lake District and Cumbria including William Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter, John Ruskin and many more.

Let Cumbria’s Living Heritage inspire your day out whether you are looking for family friendly activities, places to visit with your dog or where you can discover great literary connections.

We also have ideas by destination – find things to do in Kendal, Keswick, Windermere and Penrith.

Fancy a spot of lunch whilst there? We also provide a list of those attractions that have restaurants or cafes. A great day out wouldn’t be complete without a pitstop in the cafe!
