Hiking
Old Westmorland has a strong tradition of fairy myths associated with water.
For example, fairies are said to prefer fast-flowing streams and rivers and it was said that stone footbridges over mountain streams - in the right conditions - are good places to see fairies.

Even for those who do not believe in those myths (undoubtedly a small minority ;-)), this is an enchantingly beautiful place, for which I think the word "fairy" was invented.
