You will find Eden in a tranquil corner of Cumbria - one of England’s most beautiful counties and a lovely destination for a holiday at any time of year. The clean air and dramatic landscapes will refresh, inspire and rejuvenate anyone who visits.

As the days become shorter, cooler and darker and the leaves fall slowly from the trees, it is tempting to assume that life in the countryside is also falling asleep.

The district of Eden, ’twixt Lakes and Pennines, however, offers something very special during the winter months - the tranquil and gentle beauty of a countryside wrapped in the golden cloak of autumn, followed by the crisp and awe-inspiring embrace that is winter. There are still many things to do and places to see in Eden in winter, whatever your interests. Whether you prefer to soak up the atmosphere and scenery from the comfort of an armchair, in front of the fire; or from a fell top, leaving your footprints in the snow, there will be something in Eden just for you.

Eden will surprise you with its range of activities - there is so much to choose - from strenuous high mountain paths to gentle riverside strolls, plus golf, sailing, canoeing and other water sports. The Eden Valley is increasingly popular with cyclists who enjoy the quiet country lanes and the famous C2C cycle-route. Despite its rural location, there are over seventy visitor attractions in Eden so whether your interests are outdoor activities, fine food, family days out or delving into the area’s unique history. A huge range of opportunities for fishing exist in the Eden District. The River Eden and its tributaries offer excellent opportunities fly fishing for Salmon and Wild Brown Trout. Sporting fisheries offer the chance to coarse fish for Carp, Perch, Bream and Rudd, Children and beginners will enjoy a visit to a fish farm to have a go at fishing from boat or bank.
