Cumbria's Living Heritage

With a collection of unique properties for you to explore, from castles to much loved family homes and glorious gardens to cathedrals, museums and ruins, the only problem you’ll have is deciding where to visit first.

If you are in need of some inspiration for Days Out in Cumbria, take a look at our suggestions for dog friendly attractions, days out with the kids, as well as literary heroes from the Lake District, an interactive map of all our properties, and a list of the attractions that also have the benefit of a restaurant or café, enabling you to enjoy some local food and drink on your visit.

We don’t think that our four legged friends should be left behind and miss out on great days out in the Lake District. So you will be delighted to know we have plenty of places where your dog is very welcome too – gardens, historic houses and even museums. With water bowls, walks and doggy treats in abundance, Cumbria’s Living Heritage really do welcome dogs.
