Two activities that you can only do in Cumbria have been named 'Brits' ultimate staycation bucket list'.

Can you hazard a guess where?

With schools reopening in just a fortnight across the country, many are looking to make the most of what summer has left to offer. 

The weather, sadly, has had other ideas over the past week. But with any luck, the floods and gales will have abated come the bank holiday.

At least, we hope.

As many as seven in ten Brits had already planned an August staycation this summer, according to new research.
