The English Lake District is the
most beautiful natural terrain I know. In 1990 I was fortunate enough to
be able to come to live here permanently and walk the Lakeland fells to
my heart's content. This site is dedicated to all those who explore the
area on foot. |

The museum exhibits mainly British
toys from c1900 to the present. There are many visitor operated displays
including vintage tinplate trains, Scalextric cars, Lego models and flying
helicopter! There are prams, dolls houses, and a railway in both the 'loft'
and the garden. Rod Moore, who runs the museum, is a great guy and will
take great pleasure in giving you a tour. He was recently awarded an MBE
for his longstanding dedication to this museum. Fun for all the family.

What is Cumbria famous for - apart
from its lakes? Arguably its most famous residents are its sheep! The Lakeland
Sheep and Wool Centre puts on a show daily to introduce you to the delights
of sheep, sheep rearing, and its industry. Very interesting. One million
visitors have been along so far, and by all accounts its been given the
thumbs up! The show is indoors in a big arena and you will have a face to
face experience! As you might expect with sheep they can be unpredictable
- but good fun! Also the CUMWEST Visitor Centre, licensed restaurant and
the distinctively sheepy shop! Great fun for children and adults. Admission
charge for show, which will also get you into the CUMWEST Visitor Centre
free. |

‘Sitting in an open carriage
being pulled behind a narrow-gauge steam engine up a beautiful valley towards
England’s highest mountain, buzzards circling overhead, fern covered
fells rising on either side, forest here and there, the distinctive Herdwick
Sheep grazing in dry stone-walled fields. You trundle past small hamlets
and under bridges were people wave as you pass. The engine toot-toots, announcing
its arrival at the next tiny station. Everyone is smiling …’ |
