Historical places to visit
Take a step back in time by visiting one of the remains of the Lake District’s past.
Some sites are buried underground and not easy to see. Others are on private land and you need to get the landowner's permission to visit them.
There are however plenty of sites that you can visit! We’ve grouped them by area:
- Northern Lake District - including Keswick area
- Eastern Lake District - including Pooley Bridge and Ullswater areas
- Central Lake District - including Eskdale and Langdale
- South-eastern Lake District - including Windermere, Ambleside and Grasmere and Coniston areas
- Western Lake District - including Ravenglass, Gosforth and Broughton in Furness areas
