Britons planning a holiday in the Lake District may wish to take a trip to Whitehaven, where they can find out all about the area's history.
The 'Unlocking the past, understanding the present' exhibition that is currently touring the county will stop off at The Beacon in Whitehaven from September 1st until October 31st.
Eleanor Kingston, archaeology and heritage adviser at the Lake District National Park, said the display will be of interest to anyone who is curious about the area's history and "introduces archaeology in a fun, hands-on way".
"Copeland's rich and diverse history is of such importance, Whitehaven is the perfect location," she continued.
Visitors can trace the region's story back to the Ice Age, as well as handle artefacts and take part in interactive experiences.
Holidaymakers might also like to go walking or cycling in the National Park, as two new pathways have recently been created at Caldbeck and Windermere.
