Gurning championships in Egremont
Nestled at the foot of the Uldale Valley in west Cumbria, Egremont is a small market town overlooked by the remains of a Norman castle, built around 1130. You can explore the ruins of Egremont Castle, which stands on a mound above the River Ehen.
Hit the beach at St Bees
The coast is only a five-minute drive from Egremont. Relax on the red sands of the gently sloping shingle beach studded with rock pools, and make a splash with a paddle in the Irish Sea. Kids can play on a 6ft climbing web, zip wires and galleon.
Explore the Lake District
You're surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscape in the country here. Take a scenic drive to the remote hamlet of Wasdale with sweeping views of the fells and Wastwater, a favourite spot with photographers.
