Rheged Centre - closed
The Rheged Centre might be thought of as an 'official', Lake District National Park Operation but in fact it's one part of a private business which also owns Tebay Services on the M6, Gloucester Services on the M5 and a hotel group.
At the time the image was recorded the centre was closed - impact of Covid19 outbreak - but a notice there tells of it reopening in Autumn 2020.
