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.
