Description

HIGHLIGHTS: Lake Windermere, Ullswater, Cockermouth, Hawkshead, Bowness-on-Windermere, Coniston Water, Kirkstone Pass, Grasmere

The Lake District is one of the country's finest scenic treasures. A verdant expanse of gently rolling hills against a backdrop of soaring mountain peaks, hidden lakes and cascading waterfalls, this much-loved corner of our country is bestowed with some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable. With its bustling lakeside towns, picture-postcard stone-built villages and dramatic mountain passes, this is a magical place to explore whatever the time of year.

**Please note it is a condition of travel with Grand UK, for all passengers to hold valid travel insurance for the duration of their tour.**

Itinerary

Excursions
FULL DAY: Our full day tour takes us into the heart of the Lakes and to the iconic waters of Lake Windermere. First to Bowness-on-Windermere, the popular tourist haunt with its quaint alleyways and lively lakeside quays, before heading along the shores to pretty Lakeside. From here we head to Coniston Water, forever remembered as the fateful waters for Sir Donald Campbell's Bluebird disaster.

HALF DAY: Our tour today takes us towards Ullswater before ascending the spectacular Kirkstone Pass with its breathtaking lake and mountain views before we reach Hawkshead, one the Lake District's most picturesque villages. We conclude our day in the idyllic village of Grasmere, where the poet William Wordsworth lived.

HALF DAY: This morning we make our way towards the tranquil shores of Bassenthwaite Lake before arriving in Cockermouth, birthplace of Wordsworth, and with a fascinating history wall depicting its past.
