Make the most of everything the county has to offer!
Cumbria is home to an array of activities and lifestyles, from adventure seekers to health and wellbeing advocates. There is something for everyone! Cumbria isn’t just a visitor destination; it is home to 500,000 residents. With rail and bus links, you can explore different areas of Cumbria via public transportation. Many hospitality and tourism employers offer live-in accommodation for staff members and free/discounted transport.
If you’re considered a ‘foodie’, Cumbria might be the place for you! It has the highest number of Michelin starred restaurants in any county, outside of London. We have a great selection of local suppliers and independent food joints.
Outside of work, you can enjoy paddleboarding on any one of the 16 lakes in Cumbria, cycling Whinlatter Forest, dining out in Ambleside, attending events or music festivals, shopping in Carlisle or relaxing at a spa in Windermere.
