There are relaxing cruises on Lake Windermere and Ullswater, a steam train ride on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, and visits to Grasmere, Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage, Bowness, Kendal and Sizergh Castle.

Windermere; The Perfect Lakeland Destination

Lake Windermere is surrounded by mountain peaks and villages, including Bowness-on-Windermere, where The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction has modern displays on the children’s writer. However, the main attraction here is the beautiful Lake itself, with the newly opened Windermere Jetty, cruising on Lake Windermere has never been easier and more convenient for groups. Step aboard the most popular boats in the Lake District. Relax and enjoy the stunning Windermere scenery, all of which offering panoramic views of both the lake and more distant mountains. It truly is a spectacle to behold.

The Best Kept Secret in the Lake District – Ullswater Steamers

Second only to Windermere, in size, Ullswater is no less stunning. Ullswater sits amidst the splendour of some of the finest fells in the Lakeland. The countryside around the lake provides a vast variety of walks from short ambles to challenging hill walks, including the scenic Helvellyn. However, for those looking for a quieter, tranquil excursion in Ullswater, look no further than the famous Ullswater steamers. Aboard one of the heritage vessels, enjoy the comfy, relaxing saloons whilst taking in the marvellous scenery. A Scenery that inspired William Wordsworth’s to write his famous ‘Daffodil’ poem.

‘The Loveliest Spot That Man Hath Ever Found’

These words describing the Lake District come from one Britain’s most celebrated poets; William Wordsworth. In late 1799, while on a walking tour of the Lake District, Wordsworth saw Dove Cottage in Grasmere and decided to make it his home. He had known the valley as a boy, describing it as ‘paradise’. Within a few weeks, Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy had moved in. Dorothy kept her fascinating Grasmere journal. Today, you can visit Dove Cottage and see Wordsworth’s inspirations, including details on his thoughts and writing about man, nature and society, that are so relevant, they could have been written yesterday. As well as this, whilst living at Dove Cottage, Wordsworth produced most of his greatest and best-loved poems.
