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.

A visit to the Penrith Museum is a great place to start your stay in the town. The museum features items from the town's history, including the 19th century collection which founded the original museum and includes historical artefacts and geological items from the lakes, as well as works of art.
The 14th century Brougham Hall is now home to local arts and crafts businesses, as well as being an interesting historical building in its own right. Buy local souvenirs or even try your hand at a new craft in one of their regular workshops.

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.
