The romance of the English Lakes that has inspired poets and painters is laid out before us on this Walk, which takes us from high fells to gorgeous lakeside towns. Hiking in the Lake District National Park, we ascend by mountain trails to discover summits with awe-inspiring views. Highlights include a ride in a steam train, a gentle cruise in a renovated Victorian steam yacht across the sparkling lakes, and an insight into the facts and myths of a Druids stone circle. We stay in a hotel which was once owned by Beatrix Potter and visit John Ruskin's final home.
