There are so many things for children in
the Lake District that it seems almost impossible for them not to
have a good time! But here's our selection of the things that may appeal
most to the younger members of the family! Click on the links to go down
the page and find the relevant section.
Steam Trains and Boats
There are three steam trains in or near
the Lakes: Lakeside and Haverthwaite, the
Ravenglass and Eskdale, and the
South Tynedale.
There are cruise ships on
Windermere and
Ullswater, and
a
genuine steam-powered boat on Coniston, and
other steamers at the
Windermere
Jetty Maritime and Steamboat Museum.
There are also
passenger boats on Coniston and traditional passenger launches on
Derwentwater.
You can hire rowing boats on
Grasmere,
Coniston
and
Windermere.
