Other great activities to participate in can be found at the much-loved World of Beatrix Potter, a museum where the characters of Potter’s stories are brought to life in a recreation of the Lakes countryside.
Children will also love the Aquarium of the Lakes, where you can experience the United Kingdom’s largest collection of freshwater fish and watch otters and ducks being fed. If animals aren’t the main focus of your interest then enjoy the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Steam Railway, where you can travel through time, enjoying a leisurely journey through the Leven Valley watching the gorgeous scenery. The Lake District is also the location to enjoy great walks and outdoor pursuits, with many centres located around the area where you can begin a new hobby or just enjoy a current one. |
