Become a time traveller
Think of the Lake District and you’ll probably think of nature at its most beautiful. But this spectacular landscape is far from natural.
People have lived here for over 12,000 years. Their actions have shaped the landscape we see today, just as our actions will shape the landscape of tomorrow.
Find out more about the area’s history in:
And in our places to visit section.
Twice the fun in our online games!
Travel through time mazes to collect precious pouches. But watch out for wolves in our Time Trekkers game (opens in new window).
Aerial photos or geophysics surveys? How many trenches to dig? Choose wisely if you want a successful excavation in our Can We Dig It? game (opens in new window).
Feeling arty?
Bring Vikings to life, give some zing to a Roman or cheer up a churchyard with your colouring! There's also swirly rock art and milling around at the Bobbin Mill.
Feel free to print out any of our seven colouring-in sheets (opens Document Library).
