Cumbria Travel
Guide
A beautiful County home to the gem that is the Lake District.
World famous for its beautiful lakes and mountainous fells, carved out long ago by glaciers, the Lake District today is a playground for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts.
​
The Lake District National Park has a wide range of activities and attractions, as well as the natural beauty of the entire area, whilst the rest of the county is home to quaint villages and a spectacular city right on the border between England and Scotland.
What to do in Cumbria:
Language: English (but there is a heavy accent and even some old 'Cumbric' words still used!
​
Currency: The British Pound, which is usually exchanged at around $1.30 US per £1 Pound Sterling.
​
Credit Cards and Banks: ATMs are commonplace in most streets, but are fewer and far between the further into the countryside you venture.
Most city centres do accept Mastercard and Visa but rarely AMEX.
​
Weather:
Being part of the UK, the climate in Cumbria is ever-changing, Most days are mild, but in the winter months Nov-Feb you will experience temperatures that barely make it above freezing.
​
During summer months, most of the country experience warmer temperatures but rarely getting above 25 degrees Celsius
​
-it is definitely worth carrying an umbrella or raincoat throughout the year though as the UK is prone to showers of rain!
