The Lake District (Kendal)

The Lake District

Follow in the footsteps of William Wordsworth as you explore the stunning Lake District. Wordsworth was inspired by the beauty and grandeur of this National Park and you can witness the same spectacular sights on our tour of Cumbria, which includes two lake cruises, a railway journey and a distillery tour with a tasting.

The Riverside Hotel, Kendal

A converted 18th century tannery, the hotel is situated on the banks of the River Kent, beneath the ruins of the town's 12th century castle. A short walk away is the centre of this famous Lake District market town with its bustling shops, galleries and museums.
