Christmas in Cumbria is the perfect chance to get away from it all and have a traditional Christmas with the family. As the snow falls over the lakeland fells, you can relax in front of a warm fire in a cozy pub drinking real ale, or tucking into some of Cumbrias delicious local produce.
Hawkshead provides an excellent backdrop to the season. Walking down narrow cobbled streets it's hard not to feel transported to a time before the stresses of modern life. The Christmas Fair is packed with fresh produce, delicious cakes and famous local brews. The smell of hot roasted chestnuts and sweet chutney spices really brings the Christmas spirit to life.
