Enchanting English Lakes
5 days
5 Day Select Holiday
The Lake District is a tourist magnet in northwest England, famous for glassy waters, verdant forests, sky-scraping mountains and picture postcard market towns with traditional inns and local art. It is England’s largest national park, a World Heritage Site and an area of outstanding beauty, as well as being home to Scafell Pike, the country’s tallest peak, and Wastwater, its deepest lake. The region has long been associated with writers like Beatrix Potter and Wordsworth and, in the words of the great poet, really is where you can wander lonely as a cloud. We explore Keswick, home to Grade II listed Moot Hall, and visit Bowness-on-Windermere for a cruise on the sparkling lake. We also embark on the Mountain Goat Experience – a spectacular trip taking us off the beaten track and concluding with a ride through beautiful countryside aboard the nineteenth century Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Railway, then a visit to the tranquil and idyllic Muncaster Castle Gardens.
PLEASE NOTE: Price is per person and based on two people sharing a twin/double room. Single room supplements and upgrades are not included.
