Spy Hill – what a view!
Grasmere - a surprise view!
The emphasis on this Lake District tour is to experience the magnificent Lake District landscape at first hand through short walks of no more than 25 mins to hidden places not seen from a tour bus. Enjoy spectacular waterfalls, ancient woodland and stunning mountain scenery throughout on a scenic introduction to the Lake District from Windermere.
The tour centres on an area known as the Langdales: a magnificent landscape created by volcanoes and later sculpted by the power of glacial ice. With a rich mining and farming history it is a fascinating area to explore. A twenty minute walk alongside a high mountain lake affords spectacular views and in the summer the ground is carpeted with wild flowers.
This tour includes a lot of variety in a short time and is an ideal introduction to the Lake District with the option of finishing with a cruise on Windermere bookable locally on the day..
We invite you to stretch your legs, get some fresh air, feel how cold the water is and experience the Lake District!
All walks are optional though highly recommended and are not of a strenuous nature. Footpaths are well maintained, on the level and passable in training shoes.
