History lovers heading to Cumbria for a stay in Lake District holiday cottages are in luck, as a new exhibition detailing 12,000 years of human activity in the area has just opened in Whitehaven.
”Unlocking the past, understanding the present”, has started at the town”s library and runs until March 8th before departing for the next leg of its tour around the county.
And those with young children who may have been put off from visiting for fear of their kids getting bored may want to try and get there on February 25th, when a special family day will be taking place.
"The open day provides a rare opportunity to handle real artefacts, along with activities," explained Eleanor Kingston, Lake District National Park archaeology and heritage adviser.
And visitors who want to learn more about the area during their stay in Lake District holiday cottages are likely to be spoilt for choice in the coming months, as it was recently announced that Bassenthwaite Reflections”s community projects initiative is to continue for another year.
