Summer

A Cumbrian summer is when England’s most alluring corner revels in its beauty. It’s time for a ramble across the fells, the clear skies making for the most stunning views. A day on a lake, soaking up the soft waves and glorious summer rays.
 
Summer means long, languid days that last until late in the evening, perfect for all kinds of activity in one of Europe’s premier outdoor destinations.  
 
There’s something on every week, from gourmet food markets and beer festivals to regattas and the biggest music gigs of the year, all taking advantage of the warmer days. There’s horse racing on the calendar in Cartmel, and throughout the county there are agricultural shows, days-long celebrations featuring food, music and games as well as sheep sheering, dog shows and tractor pulls.
