wild zone...
Cumbria is a natural born winner and born to be wild. From craggy fell rockfaces, to shimmering lakes and from the waves crashing on our shore, to the tranquillity of our riverbanks, we have habitats worthy of the designer of any wilderness offer.
This is where you can get in the zone: where nature can touch your very core and create evocative and eternal memories. It is where you can enjoy a metamorphosis into a wild thing. It is here that you will do what comes naturally, to whatever degree you desire.
Things that make you go ‘oh'. That's what we offer and phonetically that oh can stand for osprey, otters, oystercatchers, owls and orchids - and so much more besides!
Are we territorial? You bet. And who wouldn't be? We have a glacial landscape supporting unique species. We have types of wildlife most English regions have never encountered, one third of England's limestone pavement, the biggest bay, the highest mountain and the deepest lake.
Add to that our committed biodiversity experts and, quite naturally, we believe we have it all. Why not trust us and find out for yourself?
