Things to do and attractions to visit in the Lake District & Cumbria

We know that you seek us out for lots of different reasons. If its buildings and architecture you are interested in then we have everything from a 900 year old castle to a very contemporary building recently shortlisted for the Stirling Prize.

Maybe you are a water baby and are looking looking for somewhere next to a lake or right by the coast, or maybe it’s literature or heritage transport, art and museum treasures – it’s all here. And if you love just being outdoors we have plenty of stunning gardens where you can walk, spot wildlife and get some inspiration.
