The Prince of Wales is returning to Cumbria.

Prince Charles is making his second trip to the area since the floods. 

He will visit Penrith, Keswick, Grasmere, and Pooley Bridge, where he will see the new temporary bridge that opens on Sunday.

The prince is heading to Cumbria on Wednesday, March 23.

In Penrith, he will visit the applied learning centre at Ullswater Community College in his role as patron of the Prince's Teaching Institute.

He will also meet young farmers taking part in an off-road driving skills course at Rookin House, in nearby Troutbeck.

Highlighting the county's tourism trade, the prince - patron of English Tourism Week - will view part of the 'Go Herdwick' Calvert Trust public art trail at Theatre by the Lake. 

The senior royal will also attend a meeting about upland flood mitigation, organised by the Foundation for Common Land, while he visits the theatre.

Visits to the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop, the grave of poet William Wordsworth, and a stop at Pooley Bridge are also on the itinerary.

The prince's latest tour of Cumbria just before Easter is likely to help boost the county's profile on the national and international stage and attract visitors to the area.

It will boost the high-profile campaign that Cumbria is 'open for business' following last December's floods.
