Itinerary
Day 1: Depart from your home area in the morning travelling to the Skiddaw Hotel in time for dinner. Enjoy a 4 nights stay with dinner, bed and breakfast.
Day 2: Today is a free day for you to explore our base of Keswick at your leisure. From our centrally located hotel, you could stroll down to Derwentwater where there is the option to take a cruise, or you may want to enjoy some retail therapy in the town’s boutique shops. There is plenty to see and do here - perhaps visit the Keswick Museum or even the Keswick Brewing Company.
Day 3: After breakfast today, we will travel south first making a stop in Grasmere, a well-known Lakeland village famous for its gingerbread. Afterwards, we continue to Bowness-on-Windermere, a bustling tourist hotspot with independent shops, the Beatrix Potter Museum and plenty of places to eat. This afternoon we travel to Kendal, home of the ‘mint cake’. Kendal boasts a fine selection of shopping centres, two castles, museums, a host of historical buildings and stunning views. You have time to explore before returning to the hotel.
Day 4: Leaving the hotel, we head towards Penrith where there is a chance to look around the town before we travel along Ullswater - regarded by many as the most beautiful of all the lakes. We reach the small village of Glenridding where we will stop for a break, before continuing over the rugged Kirkstone Pass to Ambleside. There is a chance to browse the independent stores of the town before we continue back to the hotel along Lake Thirlmere.
Day 5: After breakfast, we leave and begin our journey home.
