Rainy days
Without rainy days, we wouldn’t have the Lake District. A little bit of rain doesn’t mean you have to stay in, below are a variety of options you can do on rainy day.
Rainy Days
Tourist attractions
Lakeland Motor Museum
With 30,000 exhibits of vintage, obscure and record breaking vehicles, you will find examples of great vehicles everywhere you look.
Lakes Aquarium
Want to get up close with an Otter? Well if your not lucky enough to see one in the many rivers and lakes of the Lake District, then the Lakes Aquarium will allow you a glimpse of the Lakes cutest residents.
Windermere Jetty Museum of Boats, Steam and Stories
Learn the history of the Lake Windermere, the boats, the steamers and the speed record attempts. Set in the recently built £20 million museum, on the side of the lake, you can take in the history, the scenery and grab something to eat from the café.
Windermere Lake cruises
Whether captaining a 2 seater boat or enjoying the beauty of Lake Windermere as you cruise up the UK’s largest lake, this has been a tourist favourite in the Lake District for centuries.

2 course meal and a ticket to the Cinema in the retro Zeffirellis, based in the heart of Ambleside, a great way to avoid the rain or finish off the day.
