Find your ‘perfect place to be’ in Cumbria
Which UK holiday destination gives you the chance to walk with a Roman along Hadrian’s Wall, explore more than 120 miles of coastline and sample some fantastic outdoor café culture to boot?
You’ve guessed it, Cumbria is the perfect place to be. Whether you want to scale the hefty heights of the North Pennines, sleep beneath our starry skies or stroll along the prom in some classic seaside towns, there’s more to Cumbria than meets the eye. Believe it or not, we even have part of the Yorkshire Dales in our patch too!
How about visiting Cumbria’s only city? Carlisle’s heady mix of old and new brings together 2000 years of history with urban café culture and laid-back city living.
Then there’s our stunning coastline. With epic sunsets and awe-inspiring views, the Cumbrian coast stretches from the Scottish borders right down Morecambe Bay. Throw in tales of smugglers, Roman conquests and daring maritime feats for some extra intrigue and things to do.
Whether you’re after adrenaline-fuelled challenges or adventures for all the family, the Eden Valley and the North Pennines are the perfect place to reconnect with nature – without the crowds. Of course, we have more than our fair share of historic houses, castles and prehistoric stone circles too.
And did we mention where the Lakes meets the Dales? Here, you’ll find some of England’s very best cycling and walking trails for all ages and abilities. Look out for atmospheric pubs, quirky cafes and those extra special places to buy your perfect gift.
So, if you’re ready to be inspired, book your stay now and find your perfect place to be in Cumbria.
