Cumbria is home to the Lake District National Park and is a predominantly rural county. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful areas of the United Kingdom. The area has provided inspiration for generations of British and foreign artists, writers, musicians and poets such as William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.
Much of the county is mountainous and includes the highest point of the county, and of England, Scafell Pike. Visitors can enjoy 16 sparkling lakes, breathtaking fells, sheltered valleys, heather moorlands and inspiring coastline.
The county also boasts a rich heritage, with a vibrant and contemporary cultural scene, and a growing reputation for fine food and drink. And on top of all this, there is a huge choice of tourist activities in some of the greatest Great Outdoors in the world.
If extreme sports are for you there is a huge variety to enjoy, from water sports such as kayaking, sailing, kitesurfing to challenging long-distance cycle routes, and pulse-racing mountain bike trails. Or perhaps head to the hills for fell walks, scrambling or rock climbing, not to mention golf, fishing and horseriding too.
