You’re never bored at our bed and breakfast the Lake District
Here is our recommended spring events in the Lake District that you can enjoy whilst staying at our bed and breakfast in the Lake District
We’re blessed with some stunning early spring scenery. And although much of the activity to focused on walking, climbing and the great outdoors, there is much much much more to the Lake District than this: festivals, restaurants, gardens, sporting events of all kinds, workshops, exhibitions to name but a few.
Our diary of ideas are all within easy reach of our bed and breakfast in the Lake District if you don’t fancy walking up a hill!
We haven’t included the weekly events such as bird watching at Brockholes, evening cruises on Lake Winderemere, farmers markets or regular guided walks across Morecambe Bay!
