Lake District Wildlife Park

“Cockermouth, up Castlegate. Local brewed Ales, Brewery Tour and cosy Pub... tucked away just before the old Castle, on the left hand side, up Castlegate.”

“The Crashing Wave display is one no one will forget. Intermittently, a wave crashes down onto the rocks of the display. This provides an ideal home for species such as Sea-Bass who love to be amongst the choppy waves. These waves also pull oxygen into the water allowing the fish to keep happy & healthy. This display is also home to Turbot who subtly blend into the bed of the tank and large lobsters that burrow away in corners and between rocks! The Shark & Ray Pool is a great display of native shark & skate species as well as Wrasse, Turbot, Plaice & even a couple of Conger Eels hiding within the rocks! The Rays are very sociable and will often come up to the surface to get some attention.”

“Local theatre. Lots of parking. On lake shore. Can access Keswick via 555 bus. ”

“Aldi offers free parking and is great for a top up of basic foods for your visit.”

“This is an absolutely stunning place to visit. The view from the top of the hill past Ashness Bridge just cannot be described & you have to see for yourself. Parking is available, run by the National Trust, & charges will apply. ”
