The South Lakes has much to offer visitors this year

Britons should head to the South Lakes this year for a variety of fun and activities, according to its tourist board.

Holidaymakers stuck for a potential travel destination this year might want to head to the South Lakes.

According to the South Lakes Tourism Group, there is much to see and do in the region in 2010.

A number of new attractions are being launched in the area, including the K Village shopping and leisure complex and the Full Steam Ahead: Quakers and Railways exhibition at the Quaker Tapestry in Kendal.

For fans of the books detailing the adventures of Peter Rabbit and his friends, the Beatrix Potter Gallery in Hawkshead will be unveiling a new exhibition entitled Keeping House With Mrs Tittlemouse, which marks the character's 100th anniversary.

Other attractions for those buying travel insurance for a trip to the South Lakes include the opening of the new Lakeland Motor Museum and new bulb displays at Sizergh Castle and Garden.

"The South Lakes has everything to get the party started, thoroughly entertained, thrilled and delighted, and back on the coach or minibus with a mass of memories to last a lifetime," the South Lakes Tourism Group says.

Those visiting the South Lakes can take advantage of being able to explore the sights and sounds of two national parks - the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.

Even if you're travelling within the UK, holiday insurance from Direct Travel Insurance is still a sensible purchase as the expense of dealing with issues on a holiday can be costly in any country.
