Information about Cumbria

Cumbria
The most north-western county in England is Cumbria, one of the most beautiful regions in the UK. Cumbria borders Scotland, Lancashire, North Yorkshire, County Durham and Northumberland, and is best known for being home to the incredible Lake District as well as Eden Valley, part of the Yorkshire Dales, North Pennines and the Furness Peninsula. With a population of under half a million people, Cumbria is one of the most sparsely populated counties in the UK and perhaps this coupled with its incredible beauty is why Cumbria is such a popular tourist destination.
There is a huge array of places to visit and activities to take part in around Cumbria. If you are fascinated by British history, there are some wonderful historic sites to visit including some of the earliest stone circles in Britain (the best being Castlerigg in Keswick, Swinside in Broughton-in-Furness and Long Meg in Little Salkeld), and a plethora of mediaeval castles, museums, Roman Forts and remains including the most important monument built by the Romans in 120 AD, Hadrian’s Wall. This impressive wall spans 73 miles from Wallsend near Newcastle across to Bowness-on-Solway in North West Cumbria. The permanent exhibition “The Roman Frontier: stories beyond Hadrian’s Wall” is held in Tuille House, Carlisle (Carlisle is the county town of Cumbria) and provides Roman collections and loaned items from the British Museum.
Impressive stately homes such as Dalemain, Hutton-in-the-Forest, Isel Hall, Levens Hall, Muncaster Castle and Sizergh Castle can be found dotted around the beautiful county and are open to the public.
Cumbria is known for its beautiful landscape. There are three mountainous areas to visit: The Howgills; The Pennines (check out Cross Fell, Great Dun Fell and High Cup Nick whilst visiting the Pennines!); and the Lake District with its famous mountains and fells of which four are over three thousand feet tall!
There are sixteen lakes in the Lake District plus many tarns (other pieces of water). The only permitted craft on Windermere, Coniston Water, Ullswater and Derwentwater and private powered but these are also the only lakes with regular steamer, ferry or launch services. As there is a speed restriction of 10 mph, a day out on the lake will be a peaceful, relaxing affair with some truly spectacular views.
There is a wealth of art galleries, museums, theatres, towns and villages, houses and gardens to visit whilst in Cumbria, including many animal attractions such as the Alpaca Centre, Coast Aquarium, Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, World Owl Trust and Aquarium of the Lakes to name a few. Visitor centres are also very popular, such as the World of Beatrix Potter where you can discover how and why the Lake District had such a profound effect on the artist/author.
