Sit back and relax as your youngsters develop an appreciation for the great outdoors. From wild swimming to mountain biking, human bowling to assault courses high up in the trees, climbing your first mountain or following a forest trail, there’s nothing quite like the sight of children enjoying what Cumbria has to offer. Famous for its abundance of wildlife, birdwatchers won’t be disappointed – with our feathered-friends thriving both inland and along more than 100 miles of coastline. Our stunning natural environment also means animals like squirrels, badgers and rabbits are a regular sight when all is still and silent. With an almost unparalleled choice of activities that are fun for the whole family, the Lake District is the perfect place to keep the whole family occupied.
The Lake District, Cumbria is the perfect place to be for a family adventure. Take the clan to one of our fantastic forests and experience everything from a family cycle ride, a bracing walk or zip around on a Segway.

We also proudly boast bags of all-weather attractions here in The Lake District, Cumbria. There is always something to do to entertain the kids including lake cruises, steam train rides, theatre shows, independent cinemas and when the sun shines a Wainwright walk or a splash in one of our many lakes and tarns. Or just relax and take in the view with a family picnic on the lake shore.
Make your holiday educational and visit the homes of literary legends such as William Wordsworth and Peter Rabbit author Beatrix Potter. Create your own swallows and amazons on the lake shore or learn about the history of the historic vessels that sail on the lake.
There are enchanting castles, and stately homes, some of them are even said to be haunted. Cumbria has some of the darkest skies in the country, so after nightfall explore the heavens and amaze at the millions of stars overhead.
