Thanks to everyone for their input on our new logo! After much thought, we found inspiration in a 350th anniversary mug featuring a beautiful sketch of the Old URC. It felt right to embrace it, so here it is — The Old URC logo!

September and October are wonderful times to visit the North Lakes. The lingering warmth of late summer transitions into the vibrant colors of autumn, creating a stunning and serene landscape. With the summer holidays over, it’s a much quieter time to explore, offering a peaceful escape compared to the busier months of July and August. 🍁✨ Don’t miss out—book your relaxing getaway at The Old URC now on Airbnb: airbnb.co.uk/h/theoldurc.

Our Lake District summer may be feeling like a wash-out, but at The Old URC, our cosy lounge and complimentary Yorkshire tea, coffee, and fresh milk on arrival will bring a little sunshine to your day!

While we think nothing compares to Yorkshire (tea), there are striking similarities between the Lake District and Yorkshire. Both are green and beautiful, pastorally farmed, and adorned with rugged crags.

Come and stay in the Lake District and decide for yourself. Limited availability for September and October — book now at airbnb.co.uk/h/theoldurc

Without rain, we wouldn't have our lakes and without rain we wouldn't have so many fabulous things to do on rainy days!!

The Lake District does get the odd rainy day or two. Ok, quite a few actually, but there's still ways to enjoy this unique landscape whatever the weather! 🌧️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Step back in time at historic houses 🏡
Cozy up with a café treat ☕️
Wrap up and enjoy a rainy day walk 🚶‍♂️
