Boasting the largest lakes, the highest mountains and the most breathtaking scenery in England, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding what to do if you're staying in the Lake District over Winter.

I'm sure we all agree that the Lake District is a beautiful spot all year round, but it becomes even more magical as the festive season approaches.

The transition with changing cattle breeds on the farm is almost complete.

For those of you with dogs, the Lake District has long been a favourite destination.

Did you know that wetlands are one of the world's most biodiverse habitats? In fact, they provide homes for many species and larger wetlands, such as RSPB Leighton Moss, act as a vital stopover for millions of migratory birds in need of rest and to refuel.

This year marks 100 years of the Matson Ground Estate Company Limited and what better way to honour this milestone than with a big party - a chance for the whole Matson Ground community to get together and celebrate.

We think a visit to the Lake District is a wonderful idea, whatever the month, whatever the weather.

Every September, historic buildings and monuments across the country throw open their doors to the public as part of Heritage Open Days.

Moths are not only essential pollinators and a vital food source for birds and bats, they are also a great indicator of habitat health, which is why we carry out a moth survey every year at Matson Ground.
