building itself. It’s an amazing place, designed by a
famous architect called Zaha Hadid!
3 From kayaking on Lake Windermere, to art lessons
and learning how to climb, the Lakelands Activity
Centre has it all. There are activities for all ages at
the centre, so you’ll certainly find something to do,
enjoying amazing views and great company at the
same time. We’re right next to Lake Windermere,
quite possibly the prettiest place in Britain. Both
school groups and families can stay at the centre
campsite, sleeping under the stars. Or you can enjoy
the comfortable rooms at the Lake View Hotel,
recently built nearby. We’re open every year from
April to October, so come along. There’s something
for everyone at the Lakelands Activity Centre!
