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.

Today we enjoy one of the highlights of our tour: a visit to Lake Windermere! First we will stop at Bowness-on-Windermere, one of the most popular spots on the lake. There will be time to explore the lakefront and boutique shops and cafés before it's time to board our cruise.
Watch the stunning scenery go by as you sail on Lake Windermere towards the top of the lake at Ambleside. Once we disembark, you will have some free time to explore the high street in Ambleside before we return to the hotel.
Please note: the day may operate in reverse, with the cruise from Ambleside to Bowness-on-Windermere instead.
Today we return home.
Our team (based right here in the UK) will be more than happy to talk you through things - just give us a buzz!
