Britain · LAKE DISTRICT TOURS
Good lake district tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
See ten Lake District lakes, Castlerigg Stone Circle, Keswick, Grasmere, and mountain passes on an informative full-day tour from Windermere.
“Our driver/guide Tim was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and very funny. He took us to all ten lakes and places we would never have seen on our own. Highly recommended tour and well worth it.”
Explore Beatrix Potter’s Lake District with Hill Top, Hawkshead, Tarn Hows, Coniston Water, and a relaxing Windermere cruise.
“Our tour guide Mark was outstanding, very knowledgeable, a great driver and passionate. I had the most wonderful day on this tour, the sites and scenery were beautiful, I only wish we had a little more time at the Beatrix Potter House, it is such a magical location and it would have been nice to stay maybe 15-30 minutes longer to appreciate it more so, but I know there was a tight schedule. Thank you so much for the lovely day!! A memory I will cherish for a lifetime.”
Cruise Lake Windermere between Bowness and Ambleside with scenic views, onboard commentary, heated cabins, cafe service, and flexible hop-on stops.
“Great sailing between Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside, good and close access to both villages for a stroll round both and a bite to eat.”
See six Lake District lakes, Castlerigg Stone Circle, Thirlmere, and Grasmere on a practical four-hour tour from Windermere.

Cross Wrynose and Hardknott Passes, see Wast Water, and enjoy Muncaster Castle, lunch, gardens, birds of prey, and medieval weapons.
“Beauty where ever you look, brought me to tears, as it did the last time. Precious place”
See eight Lake District lakes, Kirkstone Pass, Castlerigg Stone Circle, Ashness Bridge, and Wordsworth country on a guided half-day tour.
“Great tour, very informative and local Guide. Saw 8 Lakes and many other pieces of interest along the way. Highly recommend.”
Explore Beatrix Potter’s Lake District with Hill Top, Wray Castle, Hawkshead, Tarn Hows, and scenic stops in a six-person group.
“With such an informative guide, we felt like we really got to understand Beatrice Potter’s life purpose beyond that of simply being the wonderful author snd illustrator that she was! What an amazing legacy she left the world and without our guide’s carefully crafted tour we may have left this magical space without this deeper understanding. Other details of life in the Lakes District really added to the narration on the day. Many thanks - a most worthwhile tour indeed. We may never come this way again as Australians, so we are delighted we choose this tour.”
Pick a city, a castle or a loch.
