Explore the Lake District’s famous waters - Windermere, Ullswater, and Derwentwater - by boat, kayak, or leisurely lakeside stroll. Hike the trails of Helvellyn or Catbells, or simply soak up the view from a boutique hotel perched above a valley.

Beyond the lakes, discover Carlisle’s Roman history, wander through Kendal’s markets, or visit the charming villages of Grasmere and Hawkshead. Food lovers will find Michelin-starred dining alongside cosy inns serving hearty Cumbrian classics; the perfect balance of refinement and rustic comfort.

Cumbria’s weather is as varied as its landscapes. Summers (June–August) are mild and often sunny, with average highs around 19°C, ideal for walking, sailing, or simply enjoying the scenery.

Autumn brings golden hues across the fells, while winter can be crisp and dramatic, sometimes dusted with snow. Rain is frequent year-round, helping to keep the region lush and green, so pack layers, and expect beauty in every forecast.
