Family Days Out in Cumbria
|
Cumbria is just so beautiful that you want to be outside all the time. We’ve got a great selection of family days out in Cumbria. A family picnic near a waterfall, a gentle walk along a river, slipping over sand-dunes near one of the little coastal resorts and of course at least one ferry or boat trip on one of those luminous lakes. Cumbria is hard to beat for a family outing or holiday. However you do get the odd shower or even downpour, after all that’s what keeps it so green. Oddly children do not enjoy walking in the rain or the pleasures of picnicking under dripping trees, so Childfriendly have come up with some good ideas to keep the kids happy and dry as well. From Beatrice Potter to William Wordsworth, from the largest pencil in the world to the highest steam railway in England; all this and the most breathtaking natural scenery in Britain. You can’t really go wrong!
