Explore the great outdoors with the family
Kids will love exploring the Lake District, and there are plenty of family-friendly walking routes in the areas around Penrith and Ullswater. One of the most popular is the circular walk to the spectacular Aira Force waterfall. It takes you through an area landscaped by the Victorians on the west bank of Ullswater. Ullswater itself is a great place to spend a family day out; kids can go swimming, if the weather is good, or you can hire canoes and explore the lake on your own steam.
Swimming in lakes isn't to everyone's taste, luckily the Penrith area also has a number of open air swimming pools in Askham, Lazenby, Shape and Greystoke. Explore the lakes on four legs with a day out on horseback from the Happy Hooves Riding Centre in Penrith. The centre offers lessons as well as a three-hour fell tide across the open countryside.

Lakes and castles
Penrith is a few miles north of Ullswater, one of the most popular lakes in the area and home to the Ullswater Steamers, which take visitors on leisurely cruises across the water. Take a hike up Helvellyn, England's third highest mountain, to enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
Back in town itself, visit the ruins of the 14th century Penrith Castle or the 13th century fortress of Brougham Castle on the banks of the River Eamont. Step further back in time by exploring some prehistoric monuments in the area, including the standing stone circle known as Long Meg and her Daughters or King Arthur's Round Table, a circular neolithic henge which later settlers believed was the legendary King Arthur's jousting area.
