"Time Out The Lake District" takes you straight to the most inspiring destinations, from spectacular walks to grand gardens and stately homes; the best places to stay, eat and drink, and the most compelling sights, villages and landscapes.

This title is full of local recommendations, hidden places and at-a-glance seasonal events alongside all the best-known attractions, from Derwent Water to Skiddaw Snapshots. Go gorge walking Gorge walking means getting wet, but in the most exhilarating way. You walk in the path of the water, scrambling over rocks, swimming across pools and climbing up waterfalls. Wetsuits and safety gear mean you won't be cold or unsafe. It provides a wonderful way to get closer to nature. Camp in a pod A National Trust initiative, these pods are available on some of their loveliest sites. The wooden pods are locally built, and have a window and lockable French doors, plus sheep wool insulation inside the walls and a foil layer under the roof to keep summer temperatures down.Experience Mintfest, the international arts festival takes over Kendal for the August bank holiday, and features some of the best and most unusual outdoor performers and artists from the UK and Europe. Designed to amaze, inspire and amuse, the festival includes contemporary circus, jazz and comedy. Drink in a microbrewery. The Lakes have lots of microbreweries, many opened in the last decade. One of the most stunningly situated is the Great Gable Brewing Company at the Wasdale Head Inn. It takes its water straight from the fells, with the beers named after the fells around it: Great Gable, Wasd'Ale, Wry'Nose and Scawfell.
