Why Book one of these May Half-Term Breaks?

With so much to see, do and explore in the Lake District during the May half-term, you and your family will have no trouble finding plenty of things to do to fill up your time here.

Being situated on the edge of Derwentwater, this town is home to the Pencil Museum and the Puzzling Place, a unique attraction packed full of optical illusions that the kids will love.  

On the other hand, the town of Bowness also makes for a wonderful place to go exploring, sitting on the edge of the region’s largest lake where you can take a ferry to-and-from the various towns that sit on its shores. Not only that, but it’s also home to a host of wonderful country pubs and restaurants to enjoy before retreating to your accommodation to rest up for the evening.
