Hiya,
I'll be spending Christmas week in the Lake District with extended family this year. I would be grateful for suggestions of things we might like to do during that week.
We'll be staying in Ambleside. 4 families, 3 of the families have 2x children each. Children range in age from 0 years to 11 years old. The older couple are in their late 60's early 70's.
Each family will have their own vehicle.
Some of us are keen to get out of the house at least 1x per day, either for a nice drive, or a nice walk. Adventure playgrounds or similar for the children would be ideal and possibly meals out, either a lunch or dinner each day.
The majority of us are reasonably healthy and fit, but we'll have at least 1x, if not 2x prams with us each day (Stoke Xplory), and baby carriers/slings as alternatives if a pram is too cumbersome.
Can you share your favourite places to visit, walk, eat, sight-see whilst you're in the Lakes? What should we be aware of, plan for in advance? I think I've read that parking can cost a fortune, are there ways to pre-pay for parking or anything like that?
Any words of wisdom, advice and/or information would be really appreciated, 🙏 many thanks in advance!
