A LAKES viewing station is getting families involved with their nature discovery trails this summer.

Claife Viewing Station and Windermere West Shore are offering a hands-on nature-orientated family day out to try bark rubbing, mini beast hunting and animal tracking in the local landscape.

The trails can be picked up in the courtyard, located near Hawkshead, Ambleside, which are on offer until August 31, from 10am till 2.30pm

Booking is not needed, and dogs on leads are welcome.
