From postcard-perfect Lakeland villages to ancient seaports, the towns and villages of the Western Lakes and Cumbrian coast wear their history and heritage in every slate and brick. Here, you’ll find handsome Georgian streets, busy market centres and tiny villages strewn about the valleys, with plenty of historic charm.
