Its been years since Ive been Lake District.  Tbh there is no shortage of good pubs or food.  Things to do, go visit some caves.  No really they are just fantastic, for the life of me though I cant remember where I visited.

One thing your not short of up there is walking routes which come highly recomemnded.

where you going?  I spent every weekend, and all my school holidays up there from the age of 4 to 16.  

Depends what you are looking for TBH.  You just missed the "Kendal Calling" fesitival, but there are other smaller ones around if you want a bit of fun.
