The Lake District offers some of the most stunning scenes of natural beauty in the North West of England. With magnificent rolling fell mountains, craggy rock faces and glass like lakes laced throughout the landscape. From our base in
Ulverston, we have included a circular cruise on Ullswater; the second largest lake in the Lake District; taking in all of the natural beauty with a full commentary on board, combined with a visit to the pretty market town of Keswick, in the shadow of the Skiddaw mountains, with time to explore the pretty streets or visit some of it’s small galleries and
museums. A second cruise, on Lake Windermere; the largest lake, we take our seats for a cruise to Bowness, where we disembark for a visit to the famous Beatrix Potter experience. Explore a magical world where all 23 enchanting tales are brought to life, recreating the beautiful Lake District countryside complete with sights, sounds and smells. There's

We also enjoy seven miles of spectacular scenery on board the quirky narrowed down steam railway from Ravenglass to Dalsgerth, known locally as the “La’al Ratty” which means “Little Railway”, our return
journey allows time for our inclusive visit to Muncaster Castle & Gardens, the historic haunted castle, still a lived-in family home after nine centuries, it commands lower Eskdale from its vantage point above the Ravenglass estuary.
