Located in North Western England is the scenic Lake District. Tranquil, tree-fringed lakes lie beneath dramatic hills. Charming
villages nestle in the valleys. This is Wordsworth country and one can
almost picture the poet wandering among daffodils. When you are not walking there
are many sites to visit such as Muncaster Castle or Townend, a yeoman farmer’s dwelling which
brings wonderful insight into three centuries of English life. There is no
better way to explore than on foot. The Lake District offers easier
walking in the beautiful valleys or challenging walking in the high
fells. Three different guides walks are offered each day. You choose
according to your fitness and ability.
