Summer has finally arrived and with a good forecast for the coming months it looks like it's here to stay (for a little while at least). So get out the sunscreen and knotted handkerchiefs and make the most of those long, hazy days... Head for Cumbria's undiscovered coastline for a British seaside feel. Stroll the promenade in Edwardian Grange-over-Sands, marvel at the towering sandstone that is St Bees Head and lose yourself amongst the sandy dunes of the Solway Firth. Then head inland and dip your toes in the cooling waters of our lakes.
