Rails and Sails in the Lakes

Synonymous with mountains, lakeside scenery and a particularly a mischievous rabbit with a nose for adventure, the Lake District is one of the best-loved regions in Britain.

Spectacular at any time of year, the views across the waters are something to behold, and with a cruise on Lake Windermere and a journey on the Ullswater Way, let the scenery unfold around you and take your breath away.  

Enjoy more stunning views mixed with the majesty of steam power as you board the heritage railway from Lakeside to Haverthwaite and continue your nostalgic journey to find yourself at the heart of the inspiration for Beatrix Potter’s enchanting animal tales and avoid Mr McGregor’s tempting garden (and his ire!) with an afternoon tea here.
