Manchester - Ambleside - Ullswater - Keswick. From Manchester, we head north into the Lake District National Park, stopping first in the picturesque town of Ambleside. We then head to the highest pass in the Lake District, Kirkstone, for some photos, before tracing the shores of Ullswater. Here, we can take a forest walk to witness the majestic Aira Force waterfall, and admire the beauty of England's most stunning lake. Our final stop is Friar's Crag, offering amazing views over the lake of Derwentwater.

Our journey concludes in Keswick, a lively market town where we're free to explore its charming streets and settle into our accommodation.

day 2 - Wordsworth & Windermere

Keswick - Castlerigg - Grasmere - Lake Windermere - Hawkshead - Keswick. On today's excursion, our first stop is the mysterious Castlerigg standing stones, believed to be over 5,000 years old and steeped in ancient pagan history. Following our exploration, we travel north to Grasmere, described by Wordsworth as "the loveliest spot that man hath found". Enjoy free time to visit Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage, sample the famous gingerbread, or relax in the Wordsworth Daffodil Garden.

Next we visit Bowness-on -Windermere, a town sitting on the shore of Lake Windermere. There's free time and an included boat cruise on the lake.

day 3 - Exploring Cumbria & return to Manchester

Keswick - Buttermere - Bowder Crag - Keswick - Ullswater - Kendal - Manchester. We head out to explore some more of the Cumbrian countryside, passing Crummock Water and Buttermere, then heading up into the Honister Mountain Pass. We stop at an old slate working and at the enormous Bowder Stone, which fell 200 metres from the Bowder Crag to its current resting place about 10,000 years ago! It's thought to weigh 2,000 tonnes, so lets hope nobody was stood underneath it when it fell!

We return to Keswick for a final time so you can grab some lunch before we enjoy a walk along the shore of Ullswater. Then it's time to head back to Manchester, with a final stop in the market town of Kendal on our way back.
