Cumbria and The Lakes – Cumbria is the entryway to the Lakes. Famously deep and beautiful stepping into the lakeside villages of Cumbria is like stepping back in time. Quaint stone-walled cottages perch on the shore of vast, deep lakes some so big they have their own lake islands. The Lakes are an oasis of calm in a busy world, while away the hours reading a book by the lakeside, sitting in one of the many historic pubs with a G&T or paddling the afternoon away in a kayak.

When you’re done with your exploring for the day there’s nothing like kicking back in a campervan with the awning out, basking in the evening sunshine. Whether is summer sunnies or winter sunshine it’s an experience like no other. Check out our Campervans with Awnings for hire, or if you’re looking for something a little more luxurious, why not check out our Cream of the Quirk range which showcases the quirkiest campervans around!
