You'll enjoy the scenic surroundings of the Cumbrian Mountains, stop to snap some photos at the tranquil Tam Hows and discover the silver waterfalls and impressive rock scenery of Langdale Valley.Then, it's time to visit the tiny medieval market town of Hawkshead.

You'll enjoy a cruise on Lake Windermere where you'll be treated to stunning views of mountain scenery, secluded bays and wooded islands before relaxing with an English afternoon cream tea. You'll head to Lindeth Howe Country Hotel, which was once owned by Beatrix Potter herself, and enjoy tea and scones while soaking up the views of the stunning English countryside.
