The Lake District is without question a superb family holiday destination for the summer. But the Lake District is open all year round and as a winter retreat, it’s a very different holiday.
Gone are the bustling towns and the fells filled with enthusiastic walkers and in there place is a more subdued mood with cosy pubs, open-fires and brooding mountains with autumn colours.
As part of this change in season, there is a thriving winter calendar such as Christmas Markets and the annual Christmas lights “switch-on”. Here’s our guide to the towns switching on their Christmas Lights in 2017.
