Further south, the King’s Guide to Morecambe Sands Michael Wilson showcases the difficulties of his job in ensuring safe passage of the 'perilous' bay.
A role that dates back to 1548, under the reign of Henry VIII, Michael in the present day has to escort 30 horses and riders for a five-mile gallop across the sands.
In the market town of Ulverston, everyone is gearing up for one of Europe’s largest lantern festivals.
Community group leader Mervyn Bedford gathers his team to craft a very special lantern for the event in the hope that it can prove to be a showstopper.

And in Buttermere, the peace and tranquillity is interrupted as one of Cumbria’s most unique sports, hound trailing, takes off over the fells.
Viewers will get to meet trainer Sarah Harper and her trusty dog Rosie, who are going for gold as they take to the start line.
'Cumbria: The Lakes and The Coast' is narrated by Downton Abbey actor Jim Carter and captures a rich slice of life in one of the UK’s most popular holiday destinations.
Filmed across last summer, the series celebrates old traditions and welcomes new life, with unique access to historic homes and ancient gardens, as well as a range of characters that set Cumbria apart.
It is produced by Yorkshire-based Air TV and is being shown every Wednesday at 8pm on Channel 5.
