Through the quiet villages of the Lakes this journey winds, following roads shaped by fell and valley, beside waters that have long reflected the changing skies. Each village has its own story and its own character, with time to wander through old streets and little shops, to a welcoming café or simply wherever curiosity may lead. The villages are yours to discover in your own way. As the road carries you onward, a clear commentary tells of the places passing by, their history and the mountains, waters and valleys that have made this corner of England what it is. Your driver remains close at hand should you need assistance, while leaving you free to enjoy the Lakes at your own pace.
