Lovers of the great outdoors will absolutely adore Cumbria, because the Lake District National Park can be found here and offers fantastic Watersports opportunities, as well as walking, hiking and cycling. Must-see places to visit in Cumbria include Lake Windermere, the longest lake in England. This dreamy body of water is lovely to take strolls around, or you can stop off by the edge for a picnic, or take a cruise on a boat to the centre of this vast, sparkling lake.
If mountains are more you and your partner’s thing, then you have come to the right place. Cumbria is home to Scafell Pike, the tallest mountain in England, and if you are both hikers, then climbing to the peak of this soaring natural mound is a fantastic idea, as the sweeping views you will get of the landscapes below just have to be seen to be believed.
With waterfalls, valleys, dales and tarns, Cumbria is pure heaven for lovers of nature. If you prefer history and heritage, however, then there are plenty of things to see and do to soak up a bit of the culture. The National Trust property of The Beatrix Potter Gallery can be found in the ancient village of Hawkshead and has been largely unchanged from the days in which this incredible children’s author and illustrator’s husband used to have his offices here. With displays and exhibitions about Potter’s life, it is a must-see if you are a fan of Peter Rabbit and friends.
Another National Trust property to visit in Cumbria is Wordsworth House. The birthplace of this romantic poet is located in the charming town of Cockermouth and fascinating to see whether you are familiar with his work or not.
Cumbria is home to lovely towns and villages such as Keswick and Cartmel and is a truly fantastic choice of place to take your loved one of a last minute romantic break to this beautiful county. With plenty to see and do, you can get a taste of Cumbria without too much planning and hassle.
