Once the capital of Cumbria, it still attracts a lot of visitors thanks to its central location, and is renowned for its many independent shops and myriad of streets and lanes lined with sandstone buildings and quaint cottages. Ullswater is close by as well as the spectacular Lowther Castle and Gardens.

Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.
