Got a dad that can't sit still? Then get in gear and sort out the perfect Father's day get away for your restless old man.
When it comes to surprising your dad this Father's Day (June 18th) the Lake District, Cumbria, ticks all the boxes and more.
Get a weekend away booked for your dear old dad, show him how much you appreciate him and pack him off to a perfect Lake District retreat.
The Coppermines Lakes Cottages have the perfect spot in mind…Mill Cottage, tucked away in the Lickle Valley, in the small hamlet of Broughton Mills. This traditional idyllic three bedroomed whitewashed cottage is the perfect place for our old man to plot up and discover his inner adventurer with 3 night weekend getaway prices starting from £494.
There are endless adventure options just waiting to be explored:
There are great walks right from the front doorstep including the famous Dunnerdale Horseshoe or a wander through Wallbarrow Gorge and Seathwaite.
He could try his hand at SUP (stand up paddle boarding) with the Coniston Boating Centre, a fantastic way to get out on the water. It's a chance to see the Lake District from a completely different angle and visit places other people just can get to.
Fly through the air on GoApe's Zip Trekking adventure on the longest series of zip wires anywhere in the UK, through one of the most beautiful, dramatic forests out there Grizedale - over a total distance of 3km and for two exhilarating hours.
Enjoy some serious outdoor playtime in a wetsuit with River Deep Mountain High, gorge walking up a steep sided beck in the path of the water, scrambling over rocks, traversing above pools and climbing up waterfalls and sliding off them into not-so hot tubs en route.
If that sounds way too much like hard work then he could simply plot up in the Blacksmith's Arms, a staggering 200 metres from the cottage and work his way through a selection of the top award winning local tipples on tap…
Whatever you decide to treat him to this Father's Day pack him off to the Lake District and book him a stay with The Coppermines Lakes Cottages.
