    Three great things about the Lake District

    Lake Windermere

    England’s largest lake is one of the region’s main focal points. Take a guided boat trip to explore it at ease, or pick up a kayak, canoe or paddleboard to truly discover its charms on your own terms.

    Wainwright walks and fell adventures

    With a lake backdrop, walk through several Wainwright routes, including Scout Scar and its stunning views. Family and dog-friendly trails lead you on more adventures to see Lake District's beauty.

    Culture, heritage and literary connections

    If you're a fan of Beatrix Potter, then head to The World of Beatrix Potter and the Beatrix Potter Gallery. You can also follow in the footsteps of William Wordsworth at Wordsworth House, and discover other heritage sites like Cartmel Priory.

    Outdoor adventures and wildlife

    From hiking Scafell Pike - England's highest peak - to sailing and kayaking on the lakes, there's plenty to do outdoors. Wildlife lovers can visit Lakes District Wildlife Park or Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, while the Lake District National Park is also a great spot for birdwatching.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Lake District Holiday Parks

    What should I know about the Lake District?

    The Lake District has been a designated National Park since 1951 because of its unique natural qualities with stunning scenery, wildlife and an impactful cultural heritage. 

    The Lake District sits entirely within the county of Cumbria, bordering the Irish Sea and home to several picturesque villages that are within its limits. 

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Lake District is home to 16 lakes, with the deepest in the UK at Wastwater, surrounded by mountains. Windermere is perhaps most famous body of water, but Bassenthwaite Lake near Keswick is also a firm favourite.

    Lakeland Holiday Park can be found near Grange-over-Sands on the southern edge of the Lake District in Cumbria.

    Why is the Lake District a great holiday destination?

    The Lake District is a firm favourite with visitors from the UK and overseas and attracts tourists from far and wide with its unique blend of water and mountains in such a large-scale area. 

    The region is full of hidden surprises, the greatest of which is perhaps the two villages that lie beneath the Haweswater Lake. In drier periods, the old buildings of Mardale Green and Measand can be spotted here. 

    This UNESCO World Heritage Site is full of outstanding outdoor experiences. By holidaying here you’ll be discovering some of the greatest scenery of any UK region. Don’t forget to bring your camera and capture those memories during your stay at Haven's Lakeland Leisure Park!

    The Lakeland Trails Ultra however, provide an even sterner test, with epic challenges of 55km and 100km (as well as more family-friendly options of 14km and 23km) providing even more reason to get your running boots on.

    The summer features plenty of events including the Great North Swim in Windermere in June, and the Grasmere Lakeland Sports & Show just a couple of months later where there'll be fell races, hound trails and even wrestling. The Westmorland County Show is a late-summer staple, with the agricultural show featuring activities like chainsaw carving and cheese tasting.

    To round the year off, The Brockhole Halloween Experience features a Haunted House and plenty of gentle scares suitable for families.
