News & Events
There are plenty of ways to fill a family holiday. Days out, tickets, timetables, activities booked weeks in advance and the familiar chorus of “what are we doing today?” before breakfast has even finished. But some of the best childhood memories come from doing very little at all, at least by grown-up standards.
The Westmorland and Furness Way (different to the shorter route) officially opened on 15 September 2026, creating a new 120-mile walking route across Cumbria, from Alston in the North Pennines to the historic ruins of Furness Abbey on the Furness Peninsula.
October half term is a lovely time to explore the Eden Valley and the eastern edge of the Lake District, with Halloween crafts, spooky adventures and family days out to enjoy whatever the Cumbrian weather has in store.
