Lake District Day Tour - Departing from Lake District
Our Lake District day tour takes you to the most spectacular lakes, towns and villages in the region, set amongst the stunning English countryside. Highlights include a visit to Castlerigg Stone Circle, dating back 4,000 years and with breathtaking sweeping views of the surrounding hills and valleys. Visit the pretty market town of Keswick before passing through the gorgeous Lakeland towns including Grasmere, where the famous poet William Wordsworth once lived. Enjoy the stunning views as we pass along windy country lanes and through valleys which offer panoramic views of the surrounding lakes.
This is a small group tour with a maximum of 16-passengers, led by an experienced guide. It is an amazing way of discovering parts of the Lake District that are difficult to access by public transport. Our small minibus enables us to go onto roads that would be inaccessible to larger vehicles. The tour is available every day, with pickup in Windermere, Oxenholme and Keswick, which are some of the most popular places to stay in the Lake District.
