Travel from London by rail for a guided small-group experience in the Lake District. The day combines countryside scenery, a Windermere cruise and a traditional cream tea. Your local guide meets you after arrival at Oxenholme, connecting the rail journey with the regional sightseeing. Village visits and photo stops provide different views of the landscapes associated with Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth. Return rail travel is included. First Class travel and an overnight stay are optional choices when booking.
Meet your guide at Oxenholme and travel to Hawkshead, where cobbled lanes, squares and whitewashed buildings give the village its distinctive character. There is time to explore the streets. Continue into Lakeland scenery, with the operator's route taking in places such as Langdale and Blea Tarn. A cruise across Windermere offers another perspective on the surrounding hills and lakeside settlements. Enjoy cream tea at Lindeth Howe before the return journey. The itinerary and stops can vary, so use the arrangements supplied for your selected date; any overnight option has a separate, unguided second day.
