OUTLINE AND ITINERARY

FROM AMBLESIDE PIER

We head out of Ambleside into the country lanes showcasing some of the small hamlets and villages that make the Lake District so special.

LITTLE and GREAT LANGDALE’S

The Langdales is a superb home to some of the most dramatic and diverse scenery in the whole of Cumbria (if not Britain!) hosting some of the most photogenic scenery around. Weather permitting we’ll drive the “loop” of “Little Switzerland” and even attempt a summit on foot to work up an appetite (for food or more scenery!)

GRASMERE

Most of the buildings date from the 19th or early 20th Century, though the Church dates from the 13th Century. William Worsdworth, who died in 1850, and his wife Mary, who died 9 years later, have tombstone in the churchyard of St Oswald's Church, one of the most visited literary shrines in the world.

SARAH NELSON’S GINGERBREAD SHOP

This tiny, aroma-flooded quaint shop with happy costumed staff is neatly tucked away at the corner of the churchyard. You’ll browse through, soak up the history, and then sample this most wonderful delicacy before ladling yourself down with bags of the stuff to distribute proudly to your friends (if it lasts that long)!

CASTLERIGG STONE CIRCLE

A superb example of a Neolithic stone circle set in the breath-taking scenery of the Lake District with a view of a number of the surrounding mountains and hills. Stand in the centre of the circle and feel the mystical energy flow from the ground up through your body.

ULSWATER TO AMBLESIDE

After a day of exploring the amazing scenery in the Lake District, we are going to show you some more examples of why the area is so popular. We will travel past Ulswater and onto the Kirkstone Pass as we head back to Ambleside. Time and weather permitting, we will make one or two stops so you can take those last photographs to remind you of a great day out sightseeing - BusyBus Style!
