6 Family Fun Adventures in Windermere | Lake District
"The Lakes Aquarium on the southern shore of Windermere is ‘home to hundreds of amazing creatures, showcasing wildlife from the Lake District as well as more exotic species from around the world’. Children can access a quiz as they explore and there are a variety of different attractions such as tanks at different levels, a tunnel to walk ‘under the lake’ and our personal favourite, the leaf cutter ants…here you were able to watch a colony of ants in action as they transported food and leaves from one end of their tank to the other. The aquarium (like with many aquariums) can be a quick visit if you have a small person who tears from exhibition to exhibition but you can easily keep wandering back too."

Top things to do in Cumbria & the Lakes
"An impressive sight with its turrets and battlements, this mock-Gothic castle was built in 1840 for James Dawson, a retired doctor from Liverpool, but it has been owned by the National Trust since 1929. Though the interior is largely empty, the lakeside grounds are glorious. It was once used as a holiday home by Beatrix Potter's family. The best way to arrive is by boat from Bowness; there's limited parking and preference is given to non-driving visitors on busy days."

Mentioned by Best in York Guide
The Yorkshire Dales with kids
"The Ingleton Waterfalls walk is a gorgeous, 4 ½ mile signposted hike encompassing six pretty waterfalls of varying sizes. The path is not challenging but there are a lot of steps so it is not a suitable route for pushchairs. Walking kids need to wear good gripping footwear for the occasional wet rock."
