Lakes of Cumbria

But the Lakes are not just pretty to look at. Various activities are on offer too, from a relaxing waterside stroll to an exhilarating afternoon wakeboarding. If a burst of adrenaline is your cup of tea, try your hand at sailing or windsurfing, with one of the many water-sports providers around the park. Or if a peaceful holiday is on the cards, why not rent a paddle board and glide your way over the surface of the water, free from everything but the calm breeze on your face. Then as the sun begins to set, make your way back to your hillside FarmStay property, and marvel at the light fading over the mountains.
