About
Discover the unparalleled beauty of England's Lake District on this full-day Ten Lakes Spectacular tour, showcasing some of the region’s most stunning landscapes. Sit back and relax as you journey through the majestic scenery of mountains, valleys, and lakes from the southern to the northern reaches of the National Park. Along the way, you’ll experience ten of the most famous lakes, including Windermere, Brotherswater, Ullswater, Derwentwater, Bassenthwaite, Buttermere, Crummock Water, Thirlmere, Grasmere, and Rydal Water.
The adventure begins at the Windermere before ascending the famous Kirkstone Pass, the highest tarmac road in the Lake District. From the summit, take in breathtaking panoramic views that stretch across the landscape. As you descend, you’ll be treated to the stunning views of Brotherswater and of course Ullswater.
We’ll visit Castlerigg Stone Circle near Keswick, an ancient monument dating back to around 3000 BC. Set against the backdrop of fells like Helvellyn, Skiddaw, and Blencathra, Castlerigg offers some of the most spectacular 360-degree views in the region and is considered older than the famed Stonehenge.
A stop in the charming market town of Keswick allows you an hour to enjoy lunch, there are plenty of places to choose from as well as local shops to explore.
After Keswick, you’ll travel deeper into the scenic Borrowdale Valley. From here, you’ll journey through the villages of Rosthwaite and Seatoller, before ascending the dramatic Honister Pass.
On the return journey south, you’ll pass Thirlmere Reservoir and continue toward Grasmere, a quintessential Lakeland village renowned for its strong ties to William Wordsworth. Take some time to explore, and don’t miss the chance to try the famous Grasmere Gingerbread, a local delicacy created by Victorian cook Sarah Nelson in 1854.
After Grasmere, the tour concludes with a scenic drive back toward Windermere, passing through the picturesque villages of Rydal and Ambleside.
