Cumbria is a truly stunning county, set in the far north-west of England.
Covering an area of 6,768 km², it’s England’s third-largest county, and is formed of the original counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, as well as parts of North Lancashire and North Yorkshire.
In 2021, it was one of the most popular destinations for Brits’ summer holidays – and as owners of one of the top caravan sites in Cumbria at North Lakes, we certainly noticed how much busier the area became over the summer compared to previous years!
But why exactly is Cumbria so popular, and why should you make it your holiday home from home? Read on to find out!
4 reasons to make Cumbria your holiday home from home
1. The Lake District lives right at its heart
