4-Day Lake District Discovery

Enjoy three nights stay at Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel located close to Lake Windermere. This comfortable hotel, formerly owned by Beatrix Potter is set in 6 acres of mature gardens and offers superb accommodation and fine dinning in it's award winning restaurant. Views over the lake and to the fells are spectacular anytime of the year.

Ten Lakes Spectacular tour covers Ten Lakes, three mountain passes and an extended lake cruise from the mountains to moorland on Ullswater - "Queen of the English Lakes", a beautiful waterfall, Castlerigg Stone Circle and the ancient township of Keswick for lunch. Certainly the most comprehensive, popular and satisfying tour in the Lake District, visiting central, north, north-west and north-east parts of Cumbria with so many stops for photographs and short walks.

Your short break also includes the High Mountain Passes Spectacular. The route is one fashioned by Emperor Hadrian's Roman legions in the first century. Over the Wrynose and Hardknott passes, the steepest in England, pausing to view the extensive remains of Hardknott Roman Fort, before descending to lovely Eskdale. Following lunch you embark on the famous steam railway journey through Eskdale and onwards to Wasdale and Wastwater (England's deepest and most dramatic lake).

The beautiful scenery of the Coniston Fells and Coniston Water bring to an end this classic of all Lake District tours.
