What To Expect

Experience a wonderful day out in Lake District and get a glimpse of England’s popular vacation destination famous for its glacial ribbon lakes, rugged fell mountains, and historic literary associations. Travel on winding country roads, through picturesque villages and past cute cottages.

Enjoy a cruise with spectacular panoramic views on England’s largest Lake, Windermere, so make sure you take your camera!

Visit the charming village of Hawkshead, a medieval settlement originally owned by the monks of Furness Abbey. Its church dates back to 1300, and famed poet Wordsworth studied at Hawkshead’s grammar school!

Photo stop at Tarn Hows- This is a beautiful and peaceful setting with Mountains in the background. You may even see some of the famous Herdwick Sheep grazing.

You will then enjoy a deliciously British cream tea at Beatrix Potter’s family home, Lindeth Howe.

At the end of the day your guide will escort you to the train station for your return journey back to London.
