As mentioned above, the Lake District is an ideal place for outdoor activities, especially hiking. One of the most popular walks is the Catbells Lakeland walk, which covers a distance of 3.5 miles in approximately 3 hours, with stops. Unlike other more challenging trails, here you can enjoy a trail suitable for beginners, without too much difficulty and without too much distance. The journey begins at the Hawes End Landing Stage ferry station and from there you will enter the beautiful natural landscapes of the district, which include mountains, lakes, meadows and large fields. Do not forget to wear the appropriate clothing and footwear, since in some parts you will have to climb slightly steep slopes and rocky paths. But it will be worth it once you appreciate the wonderful views you will get from the tops of the hills.

If in addition to natural beauty, you also want to appreciate the historical monuments of the region, you will have several options. It originally began as a building set up during the 12th century by the Lowther family, but over the years it underwent many renovations. Until today, it is called Lower Castle & Garden because it belonged to this family for many years. It was later reformed in the 19th century with the purpose of creating a beautiful castle with numerous rooms and beautiful gardens of 130 hectares. But despite its prosperity, in 1975 this place was demolished when it passed into the hands of the 'Yellow Earl', the 5th Earl of Lonsdale, who believed that this castle was too great an expense. However, although it remains abandoned, it is still a beautiful representation of what architecture was in those years, so it is completely worth visiting.

It is a popular and beautiful mountain, the third largest in the entire district in fact. With an impressive height of 3,117 feet, many people take on the challenge of climbing to its top, which involves a journey of approximately 5 to 7 hours. There are many routes by which you can reach its highest point, among which Swirral Edge and Striding Edge stand out. However, in both you can enjoy incredible views and landscapes such as meadows, bodies of water and lush pine forests.

In this region you will have many opportunities to go kayaking or canoeing. The most popular and renowned centres for these activities are Coniston Boating Centre, Brockhole on Windermere and Paddlesports - Go Lakes. Regardless of which body of water you decide to adventure in, you're sure to find experts to help you have a safe and comfortable experience.

There is nothing more fun than an obstacle course in the heights, and Go Ape gives you a unique experience. Enjoy a day in the treetops, while you have the beautiful landscapes of the district in the background. Among the activities that you can do here are the Treetop Challenge, Zip Trekking, a Forest Segway ride, and for children and teenagers the Hay Treetop Adventure Plus.

It is also very popular to visit the many waterfalls found in the district, such as the Aira Force Waterfall. In the 18th century, it was also quite visited, since it used to be a place of recreation for high society, especially for artists and poets who sought inspiration in nature. There are many paths you can take to visit this natural wonder where you will pass beautiful clearings, lush forests, ferns, and large rocks. Once you reach the main point you will find the waterfall of approximately 65 feet high, in all its splendour.

Another common attraction of The Lake District is its pretty family homes. One of them is the fantastic Levens Hall, which is a treat both inside and out. This is because its interior is decorated in a striking Elizabethan style, with elegant and ostentatious furniture, exquisite paintings and even fine clocks. And now, its exterior is also worth a visit, since the great gardens of this house are perfectly cared for, with bushes pruned in different geometric shapes, grass paths and colourful flowers.

Beatrix Potter was a renowned English children's writer and fabulist. This place was made in honour of her beautiful work, with incredible exhibits that children will especially love. Here, the illustrations of her stories come to life with the scenic recreations in 3D, in addition to which you will be able to learn a lot about the life of this fantastic artist. Finally, enjoy the cosy tearooms, which will serve you a delicious hot cup of your favourite mix, as well as exquisite pastries.

This little museum is charming and an ideal attraction to learn new things. It is located in a modern building on top of a beautiful dock built in the 19th century. And here you will find an interesting exhibition of the life and development of the population of Furness, especially its industrialization and social history. Some of the most striking objects are large submarines, warships, airships, and even Viking treasures.
