Day 1

We depart and make our way to Cumbria, arriving late afternoon at the Newby Bridge Hotel for our 4-night stay.

Day 2

Today we begin with a drive along the roads of the Grizedale Forest Park to Ambleside. We pause here before heading north past Lake Thirlmere to Keswick. This is the thriving main town of the northern lakes, situated within walking distance of Derwentwater. We have our lunch break here. This afternoon we head for beautiful Lake Ullswater and Glenridding for a short stop. We drive over the rugged Kirkstone Pass, with the lonely inn at the summit, and drop down to Lake Windermere.

Day 3

Our day begins with a short ride to Haverthwaite Station. Here we catch the train to Lakeside where we visit the Aquarium of the Lakes - Britain's largest freshwater aquarium. Next, we join the 'steamer' for a cruise to Bowness. Disembarking here, we have time for lunch followed by an afternoon free for you to enjoy the town. Later we rejoin the coach for the journey along the shore road back to the hotel.

Day 4

Today we follow the coast to Ulverston, birthplace of Stan Laurel. From here we drive up the West Coast to Ravenglass. Here we take a ride on L'al Ratty - The Ravenglass and Eskdale Miniature Railway, before seeing Wastwater - voted Britain's favourite view. From here, we return to the hotel via the southern fells.

Day 5

After breakfast, we depart the hotel and head for home.
