easterbunny_1.jpgThere is much going on in the Lake District and Cumbria over the Easter holidays with plenty of events and attractions for all the family. With Spring well under way, the Lake District will look especially beautiful. Easter is late this year and if the daffodils are similarly late, like they were in 2010, there will hopefully be a gorgeous yellow bloom over the holiday period.

From April
9th to 26th, Ullswater Steamers are having Easter Fun with Sammy the Squirrel on their regular cruises, which is supported by an exciting online competition. There's also a treasure hunt and squirrel activities taking place on the 18th and 19th of April in Glenridding.
