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.
