Visit Lake District and Cumbria

The Official Guide to the region

Welcome to April in the Lake District, Cumbria –  the month of movie magic!

As part of #StarringGREATBritain (a new VisitBritain campaign that sees Britain the star of the show), join us as we celebrate all the brilliant film and TV experiences to discover across the region.   

Why not follow in the footsteps of Bridget in the recently released film ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’ and connect with nature in the great outdoors. Or hire a rowing boat, canoe or SUP for a water-based adventure like the characters in Arthur Ransome’s classic tale Swallows and Amazons. Then, uncover more about the famous author Beatrix Potter and visit the locations used in the film about her life ‘Miss Potter’.

The scenery is stunning here at this time of year, with the new vibrancy of spring flowers, brighter days and shimmering lakes glistening in the sunlight all adding to the atmosphere. Book now and take advantage of the many seasonal offers available at this time of year.

You may leave the Lake District, Cumbria, but once you’ve been, it’ll never leave you.
