Places to stay in Cumbria - The Lake District

Lake District National Park

Sail across rippling waters of picture-perfect lakes, gaze in awe at soaring peaks and roaming wildlife. Feel the adrenalin pumping with an array of outdoor pursuits and wind down by tucking in to some hearty local dishes.

Be inspired by glorious watery scenes reflecting the mighty peaks in this stunning region. Climb aboard at the Windermere Outdoor Adventure Activities Centre where you can paddle a canoe, relax in a wayfarer or skim the waters in a powerboat.

Prefer to stay on dry land? Ascend Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain, for magnificent views of Wastwater, England’s deepest lake. Or clear your mind, wind down and be mesmerised by the setting sun seen from Friar’s Crag beside Derwentwater.
