Carlisle is the new host of an exhibition detailing 12,000 years of human history in the Lake District.
Those staying in Lake District holiday cottages who are interested in early human activity in the area may wish to make a trip to the city’’s Lanes Library, which will be hosting the event from November 25th.
A road show highlighting the display will take place the following week and Eleanor Kingston, archaeology and heritage advisor for the Lake District National Park, said that it has already proved popular elsewhere in the county.
The exhibition runs to January 19th – making it a possible attraction for people booking Lake District holidays for the Christmas period – and Ms Kingston stated that it offers visitors a number of things to do.
"There will be a rare opportunity to handle real artefacts, along with activities," she remarked.
An increasing number of tourists may be heading to the Lake District over the coming year, as the area was recently identified as one of the best places in the world to visit by Lonely Planet.
