English Lakes Tours
Recommended by
Overview
English Lakes Tours specialises in showing the Lakes to small groups of around six or seven, or larger, organised groups of about a dozen. Each tour is meticulously planned and researched, and takes around half a day, or a full day. Some are focused on the lakes and the landscape, but most are built around famous local writers, William Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter and The Brontës.

Dockray Hall Industrial Estate, The Gateway Unit, KENDAL, CUMBRIA, LA9 4QY
About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills.
