This Chestnut tree suggests that Autumn is on its way. Officially starting on the 22nd September, autumn is a great time of year to visit the Lake District, with the constantly changing scenery and colours of gold, brown & yellow . There is always plenty to do in the Lake District, here are just a selection of events coming soon.
