Cumbria

The dramatic beauty of the Lake District has long been a source of inspiration for poets and painters, a magnet for outdoor-lovers and one of the most popular national parks in the UK. Rugged hills, mountain tarns and glittering lakes – Coniston, Windermere, Ullswater and more – wait to be explored before you cosy up in a country pub with a warming hotpot. But there’s more to Cumbria than lakes, from our hand-picked collection of special places to stay you can also visit the county’s handsome capital, Carlisle, and pretty market towns like Keswick, Cartmel, Grasmere and Kendal which are all alive with events and culture, intriguing history and independent shops.
