Today we enjoy an included excursion to visit the market town of Keswick on the shores of beautiful Derwentwater. On the way, we call at Grasmere, which lies at the very heart of the beautiful Lake District. Here, you'll find the tiny Sarah Nelson Gingerbread Shop, located in the grounds of the pretty parish church. Made with a top-secret recipe, this sweet treat is popular with visitors – don't be put off by the queue, as it's well worth the wait!
Enjoy a day at leisure or join our optional excursion to Penrith, with its cosy pubs and quaint tea rooms. This historic market town is a delight to explore with cobbled lanes and a wealth of independent shops.
In the afternoon, we will stop at Ullswater, which is the second-largest lake in the Lake District at 7.5 miles long.
