We’ve been asking readers to tell us the best place to buy a Christmas tree in Cumbria.

Lots of you got in touch on our Facebook and Twitter pages with your recommendations, and the results are in.

We have a mix of places to order from if you are looking to get your decorations up early and local favourites that have proved a hit in previous years. Here are your picks, in no particular order:
