Restaurants
The Lake District contains many different restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets. Many have taken advantage of the breath-taking scenery which appears round every corner, offering outside or window seating with glorious views. Whether a Michelin starred establishment or cheap local eatery, one thing that every restaurant has in common is local produce. With so much good food and drink around, which is actually produced in Cumbria, it would be unthinkable not to include them on the menu. The Drunken Duck in Ambleside is a renowned restaurant based in an old inn. As well as a traditionally themed restaurant it has art exhibitions, gardens and health facilities.
