I’m sure you know that Cumbria boasts spectacular scenery. You will know of our majestic mountains, our awe-inspiring lakes, our stunningly beautiful valleys, but we hope this guide points you to a few things you aren’t aware of and inspires you to explore other, less well known, parts of our wonderful county. Our landscape is incredibly diverse and as well as the picture postcard scenes of fells and lakes that you’ve probably seen, Cumbria also boasts a stunning coastline and a fascinating history from Neolithic and Roman times to the industrial revolution.

lakes & mountains Magnificent mountains rise up between shimmering lakes. England’s highest, Scafell Pike rises above more than 200 peaks, including Helvellyn, Coniston Old Man and Skiddaw. These fells all offer breathtaking views from their summits and awe-inspiring backdrops from ground level, contributing to the Lake District we all know and love.
a natural abundance Cumbria is home to two National Parks. At its heart is the Lake District National Park, home to the county’s lake and mountain treasures. On its eastern edge is the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with its striking moorland landscapes. Cumbria has three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, found on the Solway Coast, overlooking Morecambe Bay and up in the North Pennine hills. Don’t miss the tranquil and beautiful Eden Valley.
the other side to the lakes Never to be overlooked is Cumbria’s immense coastline. From the desertlike sandy stretches of Morecambe Bay when the tide is out, to the red sandstone cliffs of St Bees and the sandy dunes north of Maryport, the coast offers solitude and tranquility, just waiting to be discovered.
spoilt for choice With all this stunning and varied landscape, it’s no wonder that the Lake District and Cumbria has shaped the lives of those who have lived and visited here. Ancient stone circles stand proudly high up on fell tops. Roman remains are dotted across the countryside, with the World Heritage Site of Hadrian’s Wall dominating the northern stretches of the county. The homes of literary greats and historic families nestle beneath fells and sit above shorelines, offering a glimpse into the lives of some of our most famous ambassadors.
get a real taste of the countryside Cumbria has a thriving community, made up of residents and visitors. The area is dotted with picturesque villages and bustling towns, rolling meadows and verdant forests, when added to the lakes and mountains, combined to be a well-loved home and holiday destination. Whether you’re here to walk the fell tops, enjoy a relaxing cruise or to get a flavour of local culture and rural life at one of the county’s numerous festivals, you can be sure of a warm and authentic welcome.

From luxury B&Bs to period cottages you will find quality accommodation both in the town and in the surrounding valleys and villages. Plenty of superb places to eat too and the Theatre by the Lake for evening entertainment. Shop in the pedestrianised Market Square with its twice weekly market and explore the courtyards with unique little shops and art galleries perfect for that special present or treat to take home with you. Keswick is famous for its outdoor shops too – whether you walk, climb, run, bike or sail (or just want to have the best dressed dog on the fells) it is all here. Use Keswick as your base to explore the Lake District – at least eight of
the Lakes are within 30 minutes drive – Derwentwater, Bassenthwaite Lake, Buttermere, Ullswater and Grasmere to name but a few. Even without a car there is an excellent bus service and launches on the lake to get you about – or hire a bike or take a taxi. There is plenty to do for all ages. The scenery is stunning whether you stroll round the lakes or climb the fells. Visit Whinlatter, England’s only true Mountain Forest, where you can cycle, walk or swing through the trees; or test your nerve on Honister’s Via Ferrata.

visit the
solway coast
Allonby
always something fresh to discover Silloth
Tucked away from the crowds lies the Solway coast, the gem of the north. This land of peace and tranquility is just 45 minutes from the M6, and home to magnificent views stretching across the sea to Scotland.
Maryport
One of the country’s driest and mildest places, Solway has lots to offer. Stroll the elegant promenade of Silloth, a fine Victorian seaside resort with interesting local shops and markets. Go traditional seaside break and grab your bucket and spade, and build sandcastles on the beach. Fly your kites high above the sands. Spend your loose change in the arcades. Let the kids happily play in the splash and woodland areas. Silloth has one of the 50 best championship golf courses in the country. Less of a challenge is the local putting greens. Some of the country’s best flatfish fishing’s here, with plenty of bait and equipment readily available. So whether it’s tennis, bowling or even BMXing, there’s something active to try.
14
Surrounding Silloth is the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sand dunes, salt marshes, rare plants, migrating birds, stunning sunsets, with easy walking, allow you to get closer to nature. Head south for the empty beaches of Allonby, great for strolls and locally made ice cream. The Georgian harbour of Maryport was originally an important Roman port, and is now part of the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site. Visit the Senhouse Museum with its fine collection of Roman altars, or to try the award-winning Lake District Coast Aquarium.
Silloth-on-Solway
Reasons to visit Silloth-on-Solway
Nestling on the shores of the Solway Firth, facing the hills of Southern Galloway and backed by the Lake District Fells. Silloth, the popular seaside resort, is noted for its invigorating but mild climate; its leisurely peaceful atmosphere and perhaps, most of all, its glorious sea views and sunsets, fine enough to be recorded for posterity by Turner, the famous landscape artist.

Life is hard work. We all need to unwind and relax. So what’s the solution to modern living? Think, rejuvenating spa break. Become a new person, as skilled fingers magic life back into tired bodies. Float effortlessly across an indoor pool, then wrap yourself up in a cocoon of fluffy white towels and robes. De-stress in the heat of a steam room and sauna, and get those stresses massaged out. Treat yourself to that beauty treatment, and let the problems of the world wash away. In the Lake District, the opportunity to revitalise and refresh body and soul is simple. With many wellbeing spas to be found in luxury hotels across the county, there will be a soothing spa break for you and your worries.

historic houses & gardens Rydal Mount
dive into the past with the lake district’s historic houses & gardens Mirehouse
Immerse yourself in the rich fabric of living history, animated within walls, chambers, gardens and tearooms that whisper their secrets to those with a receptive ear and fascination for ‘time travel’. Waltz back to life with the Wordsworths, tea with Tennyson or holiday with the wealthy Holts. Have a hoot with 50 species of owl, or discover a sleeping giantess and a box hedge dragon. Make a beeline for a bee garden, listen out for an elusive cuckoo, or be amazed by a maze. Nine unique properties, from castles to much-loved family homes, await your exploration, whether that’s discovering a medieval pele tower, a secret-recipe ale, a wildflower meadow, or the finest examples of creative inspiration from Arts & Crafts masters. From tea to topiary and literature to salt marsh lamb, our properties tease and tempt, send shivers down the spine, deliver the potency of the powerful and the fascination of the flamboyant. Hone your imagination through history and paraphrase the present through the past.

A firm favourite on the food loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calendar and an event which attracts thousands of visitors, the Taste Cumbria Food Festival has been held in Cockermouth since 2010. The festival is a celebration of the very best in local food and drink, where farmers and artisan producers from around the county come together, share their skills and show the breadth and quality of what we have to offer here in Cumbria. Over the years, many chefs and professionals from our television screens have cooked, talked and entertained festival guests - from the Hairy Bikers and John Torode to James Martin, Jay Rayner and Simon Rimmer.
However, our local talent, as well as the stunning, scenic backdrop of West Cumbria, are always the stars of the show. Nationally acclaimed chefs Simon Rogan, Stephen Doherty, Ryan Blackburn, Jonathon Watson and Peter Sidwell are amongst a wealth of local food heroes who return, year on year, to turn up the heat.

quality Improving quality is important in The Lake District and Cumbria. Tourism businesses throughout the county strive to provide the highest standards to ensure a memorable visit.
VisitEngland gives Gold and Silver awards to hotels and guest accommodation that not only achieve their overall rating but also provide exceptional quality throughout; particularly in service and hospitality.
accommodation
VisitEngland Breakfast award recognises those hotels and B&Bs where the owners, managers, chefs and staff have gone the extra mile to ensure the breakfast will exceed expectations.
Quality Assured Accommodation All accommodation featured in this guide has been assessed to the National Quality Assurance Standard and star-rated, or assed under our local initiative, Quality Cumbria.
The AA Gold Stars are awarded to the very best of Guest Accommodation within the three, four and five star ratings.
National Quality Assurance Standard There are two national assessing bodies, VisitEngland and the AA. Both work to National Quality Assurance standards and use independent, impartial assessors. Properties are given a quality rating of 1-5 stars and show the Enjoy England Quality Rose logo (VisitEngland) or the AA logo. These quality ratings indicate the overall accommodation standard, cleanliness, ambience, hospitality, service and quality of food. Generally, the higher star rating, the higher the quality and the greater the range of facilities and services offered. Star ratings are also accompanied by a category which describes the assessment criteria and includes Hotels, B&Bs, Self Catering, Hostels and Holiday Parks. For example, a four star hotel will have greater levels of service and facilities than a four star B&B. Hotels Hotels have to be licensed, offer dinner at least five nights a week (unless a Metro Hotel) and all rooms must be en-suite or have a private bathroom. Categories include Hotel, Country House Hotel, Small Hotel, Town House Hotel, Metro Hotel. Guest Accommodation Star ratings for Guest Accommodation reflect the visitor expectations of this sector, where quality is seen as more important than facilities and services. Higher star ratings are achieved by providing certain additional facilities and services. Categories include Guest Accommodation, Bed & Breakfast, Guest House, Farmhouse, Inn and Restaurant with Rooms. Self-Catering Self-catering accommodation is assessed on layout, design, quality and range of the kitchen equipment, quality and comfort of the bedrooms and bathrooms and cleanliness. Categories include Self-Catering, Serviced Apartments and Approved Caravan Holiday Home. Hostels Hostels provide safe, budget-priced accommodation for young people, families and larger groups. Higher rated hostels can often provide en suite rooms. The categories include Hostel, Group Hostel, Activity Accommodation, Bunkhouse (no star rating) and Camping Barn (no star rating). Holiday, Touring and Camping Parks Ratings are awarded for the overall quality with five stars being reserved for parks of exceptional quality. The categories include Holiday Park, Holiday Villages, Touring Park and Camping Park. Self-Catering Agencies Self-catering agencies advertising in this guide have at least 50% of their cottages assessed by VisitEngland or are a Quality Cumbria accredited Agency.

In the past ten years, microbreweries have flourished in Cumbria. Combine spectacular surroundings with high quality ingredients, soft Cumbrian water and obsessive attention to detail and something special happens.

I’m sure you know that Cumbria boasts spectacular scenery. You will know of our majestic mountains, our awe-inspiring lakes, our stunningly beautiful valleys, but we hope this guide points you to a few things you aren’t aware of and inspires you to explore other, less well known, parts of our wonderful county. Our landscape is incredibly diverse and as well as the picture postcard scenes of fells and lakes that you’ve probably seen, Cumbria also boasts a stunning coastline and a fascinating history from Neolithic and Roman times to the industrial revolution.
