Today, our journey takes us around the highlights of the Lake District. We'll start by heading north, absorbing the mountain scenery in the Lake District as you follow the Honister Pass; one of Britain’s most dramatic roads. We'll have lunch in the quaint market town of Keswick and visit the ancient monument of Castlerigg stone circle; thought to be over 4,000-years-old. We'll also travel around Ullswater Lake, this beautiful location was inspiration for William Wordsworth. Then, it’s time to return to Lake Windermere, with time to explore and perhaps take a boat trip.
