The award-winning Hidden Treasures of Cumbria campaign promotes those areas of the county outside the National Park, equally special but lesser known. It is targeting visitors who have probably visited Cumbria before but are now seeking to venture 'off the beaten track' and discover Cumbria's hidden treasures.

 

If you prefer not to promote your business under the 'Lake District' banner you may want to consider this campaign. It is web based supported by an on and offline marketing campaign.
