Located on the harbourside in Maryport, the Lake District Coast Aquarium showcases marine life from the Cumbrian coast and beyond, with over 75 exhibits featuring everything from rays and lobsters to native freshwater fish. It’s a fun, educational spot for all ages.
Alongside the aquarium, there’s a 14-hole mini golf course, a nautical-themed play area, and a harbourside café with great views—making it a perfect stop for a family day out by the sea.
Step into the charming world of Beatrix Potter at this family-friendly attraction in Bowness-on-Windermere. Explore 3D scenes from her beloved stories, including Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck, and more, brought to life in beautiful detail.
Wander through the Peter Rabbit Garden, enjoy treats at the on-site café, and browse the themed gift shop. It’s a magical stop for fans of all ages in the heart of the Lake District.
Step across the stepping stones into the dramatic Rydal Cave, a former slate quarry near Rydal Water with stunning views of Ambleside. It’s a magical spot for photos, exploration, and a peaceful walk.
Nearby, you can also discover the hidden Millican Dalton’s Cave and the breathtaking Cathedral Quarry, both offering a glimpse into the Lake District’s wild and rugged beauty.
Just a stone’s throw from Bassenthwaite Lake, the Lake District Wildlife Park offers hands-on encounters with over 100 species. Take a guided alpaca walk through the scenic grounds, or get up close with meerkats, lemurs, and even birds of prey in one of the park’s popular animal experiences.
With a backdrop of dramatic fells and tranquil lakes, it’s a great day out for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking to explore the wilder side of the Lakes. There’s also a café, play area, and daily keeper talks to make the most of your visit.
Fantastic fells and shimmering lakes. The Lake District National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the UK. With some beautiful mountains to witness such as Helvellyn, Scaffell Pike and Skiddaw, as well as the gleaming lakes of Windermere, Buttermere and Grasmere.
Cumbria is a food lover’s dream, known for local classics like Cumberland sausage, sticky toffee pudding, Kendal mint cake, and Grasmere gingerbread. But there’s much more to discover across its pubs, cafes, and restaurants.
Treat yourself to world-class dining at L’Enclume in Cartmel or The Old Stamp House in Ambleside—both Michelin-starred and focused on local, seasonal ingredients. For something more casual, cosy pubs like the Drunken Duck Inn and Dog & Gun serve hearty Cumbrian fare alongside real ales.
Whether you’re after fine dining or a rustic bite, Cumbria serves up unforgettable flavours with every meal.
