We all know that the Lake District gets its fair share of rain, but don't let that dampen your spirits.

The Lake District isn't all about stunning landscapes and outdoor adventure.

Lake District shows have been a familiar fixture on the calendar for as long as we can remember, and there are plenty taking place in August.

We have teamed up with a local fitness expert to deliver our first Wellness Retreat - a delightful weekend getaway that promises to nourish your mind, body, and soul.

With National Picnic Week running from 14 - 23 June, there's no better time to pack up some delicious local treats and head out for an alfresco feast in the stunning Lake District countryside.

Spring marks the start of the farm's busiest seasons.

Under a new DEFRA Stewardship agreement we are beginning work on a habitat creation project on School Knott and Grandsire, a special area of upland grassland, mires and pasture, covering just under 100 hectares.

We're pleased to share our new series - Spotted On Matson Ground.
