Lake District Tea Trail

Taste the Lake District!
A selection of the best tea shops in and around England’s Lake District are featured in a new Tea Trail from the Cumbria Tourist Board. From Beatrix Potter country in the heart of the Lake District to the Solway Coast, the trail suggests some perfect refreshment breaks in one of England’s most scenic regions, and there are a few local recipes to try when you get home.

From a mountain tea garden specialising in home-made cakes and local ice-cream, to a ‘tea barn’ set in an open-air sculpture park, all the places on this Internet-based trail boast quality farmhouse produce – including jams, cakes and biscuits -- and a warm Cumbrian welcome.
