Places to Go, Things to See and Do in The Lake District and Surrounding Areas – Make the most of your Lakeland stay with this mobile guide.There’s so much to experience in the Lake District: breathtaking outdoor pursuits, inspiring arts and culture, and imagination-sparking attractions for the children. You can pack in as much or as little as you want: wake boarding on Windermere, canoeing on Coniston or traversing Honister’s Via Ferrata, followed by a hearty pub meal in front of a blazing log fire. Or you could be strolling around stately homes and landscaped gardens, then savouring a reviving afternoon tea. Enjoy browsing among village shops, delis and galleries, shopping at famous stores, from high street to high class and the highly contemporary and visiting craft and country fairs. Finally, embark on a family outing to a wildlife park or aquarium, then board a steam train for a unique journey, and round the day off with a visit to the cinema.
