Christmas Gretings

Christmas Greetings FROM THE LAKE DISTRICT

The Lake District is simply a magical place to spend Christmas & New Year. The amazing landscape glistens and glows in the cold air, with the white of the snow on top of the fells, creating a magical and ethereal light. Down in the villages and towns, Christmas cheer abounds, with cosy cafes and pubs welcoming all with warming food and drink.

Go and discover a castle or historic house where they’ve been decking the halls ready for your visit or enjoy some seasonal music at one of our many live music venues, or churches. Our shops are at their best too, with twinkly lights, festive music, and lots of ideas for unusual gifts for your loved ones.

Perhaps your idea of heaven is hunkering down in one of our cosy inns or pubs and searching out some comfort food? (Check out our Top Favourite Pubs with Log Fires article). When the sun rises on that cold crisp winter morning, enjoy striding out into the snow-capped fells, or a gentle wander along a lakeshore, getting the perfect photo and making memories.

Whatever you choose, being outdoors at this time of year brings the roses to your cheeks and makes the idea of a cosy evening in even more attractive.

At this time of year on a clear night, just look up and let your eyes adjust to the darkness, and the constellations above you, as our Cumbrian Dark Skies display millions of stars to wonder over. Whichever way you choose to spend Christmas and New Year in the Lake District, you’ll be sure to make some amazing memories to keep you going well into 2022.
