June is a busy month in the Lake District. There’s an amazing choice of things to do. Of course, there is always walking, climbing, sailing, boating on the Lakes, visiting gardens and museums, taking in the views……etc…etc….. However, there are also many special events and things to do.

For a comprehensive list you can visit the official website of Cumbria Tourism, GoLakes, by clicking through this link. You can refine your search by dates, or by choosing your area of interest. For example, if you search “Fairs, Festivals and Markets”, you’ll find that the exiting and wonderful Keswick Mountain Festival takes place 8-11 June 2017. Outdoor activities, speakers, music, all in the beautiful setting of Keswick and Derwent Water.
