Penrith offers insight to Lake District history

Archaeology experts will be on hand at Penrith Library later this month to offer an insight into the history of the Lake District.

On November 21st, specialists will discuss the 12,000 years of human activity as part of the Unlocking the past, understanding the present exhibition that is currently taking place at the library.

Those staying in Lake District holiday cottages who want to learn more about the area may wish to pay a visit and archaeology and heritage adviser to the Lake District National Park Eleanor Kingston said the event is ideal for families.

"It”s going to be very informal and we look forward to welcoming anyone who has an interest in the past," she remarked, adding that children will be able to try making pottery and dress up as Vikings and Romans.

In related news, artwork depicting how the Lake District has changed over a three-year period recently went on display in nearby Rheged, Grough.co.uk reports.
