Itinerary
Itinerary
Sunday We travel north with a stop at Trentham Shopping Centre.
Monday The Yorkshire Dales beckon today as we travel via the beautiful Lune Valley into the Pennine mountains through lovely but remote countryside, to call at Hawes in Wensleydale. Whilst in Hawes we enjoy a demonstration and tasting at the Wensleydale Cheese Shop. On our return we call at Kirkby Lonsdale, a compact town with independent shops. In the evening we have an early dinner before we view the Blackpool Illuminations.
Tuesday A free day to explore Morecambe, or maybe catch a local bus to nearby Lancaster.
Wednesday Into the southern Lake District and we enjoy a boat ride from Lakeside, on the southern tip of Windermere, to Bowness. We have time to explore Bowness before continuing to our afternoon visit to Holker Hall & Gardens. The estate is set in exceptionally beautiful countryside with gardens that merge into parkland, framed by the Lakeland Hills.
Thursday Into the northern lakes today and we view seven lakes in total! We pass Rydal, Grasmere and Thirlmere enroute to our lunchtime stop in Keswick, set near Derwent Water. On our return we view Ullswater and Brothers Water before a dramatic ride over the Kirkstone Pass.
Friday We return home with a stop at the famous Bury Market, previously voted the best market in the UK.
