Local Attractions


The Lake District is a truly magical part of the country. Its combination of soaring mountains, beautiful lakes and magnificent unspoilt scenery is breathtaking whatever time of the year. It also offers something for everyone: unbeatable walking, climbing and cycling; a host of water based activities; bustling rural towns full of local character and industry; houses of historic and cultural interest; and stunning views around virtually every corner. It is hardly surprising that writers and poets such as Beatrix Potter, John Ruskin and Wordsworth chose to make the Lake District their home, many of which are now open to the public. The Lakes also offers great choice of visitor attractions ranging from Windermere Steamboat Museum which houses a unique collection of the lake's nautical heritage, to attractions which all the family will love such as Aquarium of the Lakes at Newby Bridge and Cars of the Stars in Keswick.
