The County of Cumbria
Cumbria is well known for many things, including rain and hills to round sausages and Kendal mint cake. Cumbria is home to the Lake District, England’s largest National Park and perhaps the most idyllic countryside in the UK. This beautiful area spans over 40 miles and is home to the famous Lake Windermere. What a beautiful setting for your special day...
The Lake District
Besides the picturesque landscape there are many interesting and quaint attractions for visitors to the area. You could visit the National Trust preserved Beatrix Potter Gallery and see orginal artwork from the Peter Rabbit children's books, or take a boat ride on the scenic Lake Windermere. If steam railways appeal to you then try the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, an unforgettable ride by narrow guage trains from the Lake District's coast to it's highest mountain.
Cumbria wedding venues
Fancy getting married in a Castle? Then book Augill Castle - the Cumbria wedding venue with a difference.
