It features a spectacular array of soaring peaks, picturesque lakes and inviting beaches, with the potential to spend countless hours exploring all different parts of it. A good part of the North Pennines stretch into Cumbria too, while Kielder Forest Park spills over the county’s north east border. Whether you’re spending time on the Solway Coast, going for long walks through the South Solway Mosses or delving into ancient history along Hadrian’s Wall, you can also explore an array of historic castles and cultural draws such as art galleries and museums.
Education
A number of Cumbrian primary schools have been highlighted among the country’s best in recent years. This includes Bookwell Primary School in Egremont and Barrow’s Yarlside Academy, while Stanwix and Houghton Schools in Carlisle, St Mary's RC Primary in Ulverston and Cockermouth’s Fairfield Primary have also been recognised among the county’s leading lights.
There’s also been national recognition at secondary level, with Cockermouth, Dallam and Keswick Schools all named among the country’s best options for children aged 11 and up. Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Penrith is regarded as one of Cumbria’s very best schools, while Windermere School, Sedbergh School and Lime House School near Dalston are also highly rated.
