The
North Lakes and Eden Valley is an area of outstanding beauty and is perfect
for both touring by car or putting on your boots and walking across the fells
and mountains to explore the remote scenery of the region.
However,
apart from these obvious aspects to the area, there is a wealth of alternatives
to keep you occupied for days, if not
weeks! From Hadrian’s Wall
and Heritage Sites to Lilliput Lane, the Pencil Museum or the Alpaca Centre,
the only problem is deciding what to do next !
