Lake District Weekend

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to the Lake District and our hotel for three nights.

Our included excursion takes us first to the charming town of Ambleside, located at the head of Lake Windermere. Known as ‘The Jewel in Lakeland’s Crown’ and surrounded by outstanding natural scenery, you will have free time to explore this delightful market town at your own pace, before continuing to the popular lakeside town of Bowness.

Located between Waterhead and Lakeside on the shore of Lake Windermere, Bowness has a pleasant town centre and glorious setting, and is consequently one of the most visited towns in the Lake District.

You will have time at leisure to admire the beautiful Victorian and Edwardian architecture, browse the local shops or relax and watch the boats sail by on the lake – the choice is yours!

Today, you can choose to relax in the hotel, or why not join our optional excursion to Keswick and Grasmere? We visit Keswick, overlooked by the dramatic Skiddaw range in the north and the expansive Derwentwater in the south. The town enjoys an idyllic location in the north of the Lake District.

You will have time at leisure to explore the town before continuing to the pretty village of Grasmere, known for being the home of William Wordsworth. You will have free time in the village where you can admire the spectacular surrounding fells, visit Wordsworth’s grave, or maybe even buy some of the legendary Grasmere gingerbread.
