Your Excursions

FULL DAY

Our full day tour starts with a spectacular drive over 1500 foot Kirkstone Pass and along the banks of Ullswater to the Lakeland town of Keswick. Passing Thirlemere we come to the idyllic village of Grasmere, final resting place of the poet William Wordsworth, before arriving in bustling Ambleside with its narrow streets and quaint shops. Here there is an opportunity to take an optional cruise on Lake Windermere to Bowness.

FULL DAY
One of the highlights of this holiday is a spectacular drive by Mountain Goat mini-bus to explore the mountains, valleys and lakes that are not normally accessible by coach. Our tour starts with a drive through wild and rugged Wrynose Pass, before commencing the dramatic ascent of Hardknott Pass, the steepest in Britain. We pause at the remote Hardknott Roman Fort with its stunning views before making our way to the famous miniature Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway through Eskdale. In the afternoon we drive onward to Wastwater, voted 'Britain's Favourite View' and England's deepest and most dramatic lake before arriving at the splendid 14th century castle of Muncaster surrounded by its internationally acclaimed gardens.
