Lake district national park tours

"I wandered lonely as a cloud" - so wrote the famed Romantic poet William Wordsworth, as he gazed out over the lovely solitude of England's Lake District. Over two centuries later, travelers still flock to this rugged corner of England to enjoy the splendour of nature that inspired Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter and other great English writers. Take a Lake District tour with a personal guide and experience the region's charming villages, lakes and sweeping mountain vistas with a friendly, knowledgeable local. Hire bicycles and ride through the winding trails in beautiful Grizedale Forest, or hike along the shores of Lake Windermere. In Grasmere you can visit Dove Cottage - one of Wordsworth's former homes. And don't miss Hawkshead: its delightful cobbled streets, pubs and rickety cottages make it an utterly quaint and idyllic English village. Adventurous travelers can even undertake a Coast to Coast walk - an unforgettable 12-day guided odyssey across the fells.
