A holiday in the Lake District is a good chance for your kids to relax over the summer break and for the whole family to bond.
School might be out, but there’s no reason why your children should stop learning and absorbing information (just don’t tell them we said so!).
A great way to keep their brains active is to head to an exhibition held in Coniston, which reveals some 12,000 years of human history and an insight into the national park’s past.
Entitled ‘Unlocking the past, understanding the present’, the event is touring the country and will be at the John Ruskin Museum over the summer.
Lake District National Park archaeology and heritage advisor Eleanor Kingston says: "The exhibition introduces archaeology in a fun, hands-on way. Visitors can enjoy interactive experiences and see interesting objects at close quarters."
The cottages4you team think youngsters will just love handing the real artefacts and uncovering some historical treasures.
And the museum also hosts some exciting guided walks, which could be a fun way to explore the area once you’ve learnt more about it.
