The Cumbria/Lake District
There is so much to see and do in Cumbria - To the north is historic Carlisle and Hadrians Wall and to the west is the Solway Coast, an area of outstanding natural beauty and haven for wildlife. To the south is the Lake District and to the east Penrith and the gateway to the Pennines. Cumbria is the second biggest of the English counties and contains a vast array of scenery including high mountain peaks, waterfalls lakes, dales and valleys. The area also has a colourful history and there are numerous places of historical interest to visit.
Northumberland is unique. It is the least densely populated County in England; and has its own National Park, the most remote and unspoilt of all the English National Parks. It has more castles open to the public than any other county. Hadrian's Wall is the largest world heritage site in the country; and at Kielder, it has the largest man-made lake in Western Europe set in the country's largest man-made forest. It has its own food and drink and even its own distinct birds and wildlife.
The weather in Cumbria and Northumberland may be characterised as dry, cool and sunny. Weather extremes which are sometimes experienced by other parts of the UK (such as droughts, floods, hurricanes, heat waves or extreme cold) are all exceptionally rare.
