Nature, a Lesser-Known Stonehenge and Fortresses With Games

First stop of the day in the pretty village of Ambleside, time to explore its nooks and crannies and streets.

You should wander through the streets of the village with the stone façades of the houses, which give it a medieval atmosphere.
The river Rothay runs through the centre of the town and is the most beautiful place to visit. One of the most emblematic buildings is the bridge house, narrow and two-storey high, set over the river. A very photogenic place.
Following the course of the river, you will find a large park with playgrounds for children and where you can enjoy a picnic.

These rocks are in the middle of a hill and arranged in a circular shape. Does it sound like a more recognizable site such as Stonehenge?
The difference with Stonehenge is that it is visited by far fewer people, so you can enjoy the site without the crowds and admire the green hills all around you.
You'll even see sheep grazing around the site!
There is parking next to the rocks where you can leave your car.

It's time to stop the car and enjoy the natural surroundings of the Lake District Nature Park.
There is parking at the bottom of the park, and then you can walk up to the waterfalls.

Uphill path following the watercourse to various waterfalls. The walk takes you through the forest with the constant sound of water.
There are bridges over the cascades for great views of the falling water.
It is a place to enjoy the surroundings and instead of having lunch in a restaurant, prepare a nice picnic in nature.

Of the old castle, only the outer structure remains, as in the 1950s the interior was completely demolished and became home to farm animals.
Today, Lowther Castle is visited for its restored gardens and the adventure park that attracts children. The large green space is full of flowers, mazes and a viewpoint of the mountains and valleys.
But what most attracts the visitor's attention is the so-called lost castle, built in wood in the middle of the forest. There are also zip lines, slides and mazes for parents and children to enjoy themselves.
Open Hours: Summer: 10.00 - 17:00. Winter: 10.00 - 16:00.

Arrival in the city of Carlisle to visit the cathedral, have dinner, rest and the next day visit its jewel, the castle.

The reddish colour of the façade is already an eye-catcher. Inside, everything is luxurious, starting with the huge stained-glass windows behind the altar.
As soon as you raise your head, you can see another characteristic feature of the building, the blue ceiling decorated with large and small yellow stars.
At the back of the church is the large organ.
The church has a cafeteria and although admission is free, donations are accepted.
Open Hours: Monday to Friday: 7:30 - 18:30. Saturday and Sunday: 7:30 - 17:00.

Restaurant to try different dishes from Asian countries: Chinese, Korean, Malaysian, Thai, among others.

Among the main dishes is the classic Pad Thai, curry-based food, lamb koftas or chilli chicken.
It's an authentic Asian experience!
Open Hours: Tuesday to Friday: 14:00 - 22:00. Saturday and Sunday: 13:00 - 22:00.
