Hotels in Cumbria, United Kingdom

Cumbria, a county in northwest England, is famous for the Lake District National Park, home to England's tallest mountain, Scafell Pike, and its largest lake, Windermere. The climate is cool and rainy year-round-summer highs average 68°F (20°C), perfect for hiking the fells or sailing on Windermere, while winter lows around 39°F (4°C) make indoor visits to Beatrix Potter's Hill Top farm or the Wordsworth Museum in Grasmere more appealing. If you visit between April and October, you'll find the best conditions for climbing, but the quieter winter months let you enjoy cozy pubs and lower accommodation rates.
