Keswick and Lake District

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to the hotel near Keswick for our four-night stay.

Excursion visiting the bustling town of Bowness, a popular lakeside town that is bursting with attractions including The World of Beatrix Potter, the charming St Martin's Church and the Windermere Jetty Museum dedicated to the boats, people and rich history of the lake.

After some free time, we board our cruise and have chance to admire the stunning surrounding scenery from the waters as we sail to Ambleside, located at the head of the lake. Ambleside is home to one of the Lake District's most iconic sights - the tiny Bridge House that sits above Stock Ghyll Beck.

Enjoy a day at leisure where you can relax at the hotel or why not 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.

Enjoy an excursion to the quaint village of Grasmere which lies at the heart of the Lake District. This charming village is home to the tiny Sarah Nelson Gingerbread Shop which is located in the grounds of the pretty parish church.

We return to Keswick with some free time to explore this popular market town, on the shores of spectacular Derwentwater.

Return home.
