Lake district tourist information offices
We include contact telephone numbers, unlike some information suppliers who only provide a premium-rate phone number for you to call and listen to a lengthy recorded announcement.
We believe that this is the best and most comprehensive list of tourist information offices in the UK lakes district. Here are the telephone numbers, addresses and direct links to maps showing the exact locations you need.
