'The Lake District, isn't that the destination of choice for the tea-drinking bridgade?' Well yes, it does attract its fair share of elderly holidaymakers who come to enjoy the scenery and numerous tea rooms, but it's also a brilliant untapped resource for stag and hen weekends.
The magnificent lakes and imposing peaks inspired William Wordsworth to write reams of romantic poetry, but you won't have any time to knock out poems as there are far too many superb adventure sports to be enjoyed. The region has a number of excellent activity centres which offer everything from survival adventure days to windsurfing, and with Carlisle's vibrant nightlife on the doorstep you really can't go wrong.
