Description
Exploring the sights and scenery of the Lake District from Chester can be challenging without a rental car. Instead of stringing together train and bus journeys; choose this full-day tour that offers comfortable transportation and a knowledgeable guide to provide insight into the region’s highlights. Walk through Blea Tarn, follow hidden roads through Ambleside, taste fresh gingerbread from the famous Grasmere Gingerbread, and so much more. Let us take care of the details while you relax and enjoy the beauty of the largest national park in the UK.
Listen to a partially narrated journey as we head to Bowness on Windermere for our first views of one of the many Lakes that give this area its name. You will have the opportunity to hop on one of Windermere's boats (at own cost - buy ticket from driver/guide) on a one way journey to Ambleside.
On a pleasant day, use your time to shop for a picnic that we can have when we are in the open air of the Langdales. On colder, more overcast days, you can take lunch at Ambleside in one of the many eateries.
On to the Langdales, we travel through Little Langdale to Blea Tarn where we spend time exploring the area. At the end of our walk, we head out through Great Langdale and on to the picturesque village of Grasmere. The final stop of the day, you can wander around and see why it has been voted England's most beautiful village on a number of occasions. You may wonder what that delicious aroma is and follw the scent to the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop like so may travellers who have been here before you!
