Tours whilst at resort
A South to Ulverston where we have a free flow visit of the Laurel and Hardy Museum plus a talk from the curator. We also have time to explore the town before we head along the banks of Coniston Water to the bustling village of Ambleside where we make our next stop. The village is surrounded by beautiful fells, woodland and parks and has great shopping plus the quirky Bridge House. Our return is over the dramatic Kirkstone pass with views of Brotherswater and we travel along the banks of Ullswater.
B To Kirkby Lonsdale, beautifully set above the River Lune and then into the Yorkshire Dales and the historic market town of Skipton. We return on a scenic route via Hawes, centre of Wensleydale and Garsdale.
C To Bowness on Windermere for the highlight of the holiday as we enjoy a 45 minute cruise on a steam yacht giving an unrivalled sailing experience. See the impressive steam engine in operation as we take in the fabulous scenery. Following free time to explore Bowness we continue past Thirlmere, Grasmere and Rydal Water and take a break in the stunningly located town of Keswick.
