ITINERARY
BOWNESS & BOAT LAUNCH
Cumbria’s most popular sprawling town developed after the opening of the railway line from Oxenholme and Kendal to Windermere in 1847. Home to a glorious lakeside boat launch. Here you can hop on the optional Lake Windermere Lake Cruise for a trip of a lifetime (~£13.00 / $16).AMBLESIDE
Largely Victorian and home to the Roman Galava Fort – ex-resident to 500 Roman soldiers. Grew rapidly when the ferry terminal opened in 1845. St Mary’s Church (1854) was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The 17th Century Bridge House over Stock Ghyll is one of the most photographed scenes in Lakeland.LITTLE & GREAT LANGDALE’S
The Langdales is a superb home to some of the most dramatic and diverse scenery in the whole of Cumbria (if not Britain!) hosting some of the most photogenic scenery around. Weather permitting we will drive the “loop” of “Little Switzerland” and even take a walk on one of Alfred Wainwright's Pictoral Walks work up an appetite (for food or more scenery!)GRASMERE
Most of the buildings date from the 19th or early 20th Century, though the Church dates from the 13th Century. William Worsdworth, who died in 1850, and his wife Mary, who died 9 years later, have tombstone in the churchyard of St Oswald’s Church, one of the most visited literary shrines in the world.SARAH NELSON’S GINGERBREAD SHOP
This tiny, aroma-flooded quaint shop with happy costumed staff is neatly tucked away at the corner of the churchyard. You’ll browse through, soak up the history, and then sample this most wonderful delicacy before lloading yourself up with bags of the stuff to distribute proudly to your friends (if it lasts that long)!If traffic or weather conditions were to impact the above locations at short notice they can be substituted by the driver/guide to another stop on route.
