Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there no golf courses in Westmorland and Furness?
You'll find Westmorland and Furness is dominated by the stunning, rugged landscapes of the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This protected environment, with its dramatic fells and deep valleys, simply isn't conducive to building traditional golf courses. The focus here is on preserving nature, not manicured fairways.
Where can I play golf near Westmorland and Furness?
If you're set on hitting the links, you'll need to venture just outside the Westmorland and Furness boundaries. Head south into Lancashire or east towards Cumbria's coastal areas, where you'll find a scattering of excellent parkland and links courses. We recommend looking around Morecambe Bay or towards Carlisle for your golf fix.
What else is there to do in Westmorland and Furness if I can't golf?
Don't despair, Westmorland and Furness offers an incredible array of activities beyond golf. We always recommend exploring the countless hiking trails, enjoying a boat trip on Windermere, or visiting charming towns like Ambleside and Grasmere. It's a paradise for walkers, cyclists, and anyone who loves breathtaking scenery.
Is Westmorland and Furness worth visiting for a golf trip, even without courses?
Absolutely, but you should adjust your expectations - it's more of an outdoor adventure trip than a dedicated golf holiday. Consider it a perfect base if your travel companions aren't golfers, or if you want to combine a few rounds in nearby regions with world-class hiking and scenery. You'll find the natural beauty here is a highlight in itself.
What's the best time to visit Westmorland and Furness if I'm interested in the region's natural beauty (since golf isn't an option)?
For enjoying the stunning landscapes without the summer crowds, we always suggest visiting in late spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October). The weather is often pleasant for hiking, the colours are vibrant, and you'll experience a more peaceful side of the Lake District. Summer offers longer daylight hours, but expect busier trails and towns.
