Cumbria & The Lake District
It's the Lake District that Cumbria is most famous for and ranks along side Cornwall and Norfolk as one of the top three places for a short break or holiday in the UK.
William Wordsworth and other famous poets have written some of their finest work here inspired by the Lakes and fells that make up the stunning Lake District region and provides a setting for modern creative people to pen their own work.
There are major lakes in the district - Windermere, Wast Water, Ullswater, Derwent Water, Grasmere and more, you can find out more information in our Lake District section - and these serve as focal points as you journey and navigate around the beautiful north England landscape.
