our tour arranged by:
Four of the top activities are exploring the towns, taking boat rides, do a little nature walking, and take a driving tour of the region to see the other nearby lakes and quaint villages. Most of our program takes place during a van tour of the lakes that visits 10 different lakes, including Brotherswater, Derwent Water, Grasmere, Ullswater and Windermere. On the van ride we also take a walk in the village of Grasmere, famous for William Wordsworth. You will be amazed by Castlerigg Stone Circle, 4500 years old, one of the area’s historic gems. Then we take a lunch stop in Keswick, whilst exploring the traditional Lakeland market town. We also do a Lake Cruise, enjoying uninterrupted views of the Lakeland fells from Derwent Water.
You can pick from a variety of kinds of excursion boats on Lake Windermere: you can have a one-hour cruise or go for an all-day expedition. You could enjoy a cruise with dinner, there are hydrofoils, rowboats or sailboats for rent -- all kinds of nautical activities exist here on the shores of Lake Windermere.
By the end of the 18th century the region was already becoming popular with visitors and this has steadily grown to the point where today nearly 20 million annual visitors enjoy the beauties of this special place. This huge amount of tourists can be a challenge to deal with in your visit, but you will find the beauties of the natural landscapes make your efforts quite worthwhile. In this show we have useful suggestions to help your planning.
Summer season is obviously most crowded and brings with it the best weather with least chances of rain, so take your chances, but we suggest the shoulder season, like the visit shown here which was during May, a perfect time to visit. We never felt inconvenienced by any crowds. After all, facilities like hotels and restaurants are able to handle the peak crowds of summer, so if you are here in May, with proper reservations at a decent hotel, you will have no problems. Of course the summer is when everybody wants to be here but we find that May is ideal.
You’ll need to spend at least several nights in the area this to really get a chance to see the charming countryside, explore some towns, go shopping, and perhaps enjoy some fine dining. This is actually two towns joined together as one: Windermere is a mile to the north and Bowness-on-Windermere lies along the shores of the lake. Each center has its cluster of shops and restaurants, but the main focus is down at Bowness, which has most of the hotels and that special setting along the water.
The town of Bowness is a good base of operations for heading out to see the other lakes in the district and enjoying some day tours as we will be doing.
Windermere is the largest and the longest lake in the British Isles, about 10 miles long with a 24-mile circumference, and there are several villages along the shores of the lake. We see Lake Windermere the easy way, on a boat ride.
We are travelling in mid-May and ran into some great weather. And actually it’s quite pleasant the temperature here is in the low 70s there is a slight breeze on the lake but not terribly windy. a most pleasant day.
The temperature is pleasant enough that it’s comfortable to sit outside, After all you want the view -- that’s why we’re enjoying this boat ride, to have a look at this charming rolling countryside along the shores of the lake of Windermere.
Some of us decided to get off the boat at Ambleside which is one of the main small towns here in the Lake Country. There's a level nature trail from the boat dock to Ambleside town passing first through an open meadow with some Roman ruins visible, and then along beautiful stream. We also get to see the sheep frolicking around. The walk only took about the walk only took about 30 minutes.
We came upon foundations of ancient Roman buildings. From such forts the Romans could control hundreds of square miles. the army was staffed in part by Roman soldiers and mercenaries, some of them from Yugoslavia. Roman rule began in Britain back in A.D. 43. A massive army of 40,000 soldiers quickly conquered most of the island and Romans remained in control for the next 300 years.
When the path follows along the stream it becomes so beautiful, lined with wildflowers, that you feel you stepped into some kind of movie or dream. Those few minutes became one of the top highlights of the three-week tour of the British Isles. A simple walk through the woods could provide a transcendental experience.
Lake District Travel Vlog | Mountains | Great Langdale | Family Adventures
Welcome to my Lake District Travel Vlog from the mountains in Great Langdale. Includes breathtaking sunset footage and captures our family adventures during our two week holiday at Millbeck Farm.
The Lake District, in Cumbria, UK is a very special place for scenery, magical light and glorious mountains. It's has something for everyone, including families. We took our three young children, aged 5,7,9 up mountains, on lakes in our Kayak and they even fed the cows on the farm that we stayed at.
We spent two weeks staying in the Langdale Valley, at a farm called Millbeck Farm. I can thoroughly recommend this location and the property. Here's a link to their website:

The town of Bowness in the Lake District is a great base of operations for heading out to see the other lakes in the district and enjoying some detours as will be showing you here. There are actually two towns joined together here as one got Windermere, about a mile to the north and Bowness-on-Windermere along the shores of the Lake. Each center has its cluster of shops and restaurants but the main focus is down at Bowness, which has most of the hotels and has that special setting along the water.
Properly called Bowness-on-Windermere, the town really is a quaint and charming place even though it's got a lot of competition with the lakes and the mountains and the other villages nearby, which is where you want to spend most of your time, but it's always nice to come home to Bowness. It really is an ideal kind of an English country town even though it is touristic. But when you're here in the off-season as we are, visiting in May, it's really not crowded at all, and it's got that hilly atmosphere and winding streets. There are some little back lanes and a lot of restaurants to take care of you.
There are some bars and walkways along the waterfront. Bowness on Windermere really does embrace the Lake. The little beach in town always has a lot of geese and ducks and swans looking for food.
You’ll need to spend at least several nights in the area this to really get a chance to see the charming countryside, explore some towns, do a little shopping, and perhaps enjoy some fine dining on offer here in Bowness and Windermere.
We’ll also take you on some hikes along the lake shore and up in the hills hear Sawney, and then on a ride on a miniature train.

This Is The Lake District
Having spent years photographing the Lake District for our holiday cottage company we thought it was time to ramp things up and create Time Lapse and video movies.
Shot by Jack Serginson and Ollie Gough with a bit of help from myself I think they have produced something quite special, highlighting Cumbria's Lake District and showing why this stunning area is the perfect holiday destination. Look out for re-edits and new films. Big thanks to Cam, Ram and Set from Reforest Records for running out a great sound track at short notice. Oh and by the way, in their urgency to get the film up before disappearing to Norway for their next great time lapse adventure, they made a few spelling typos - Tut Tut boys, I guess I should have checked.
If you want to visit the Lake District then do see our Visit England inspected quality Lake District Cottages see our website at - you won't be disappointed.
If you wish to use any part of the movie please contact John Serginson at The Lakeland Cottage Company Tel 015395 38180

The Lake District - England's most beautiful landscape
For anyone looking for England's most beautiful view, here is where to strike gold: the Lake District. Framed between gently rising mountains of England's northwest, lay dozens of lakes with crystal clear water.
Apart from the magnificent view, at the Honister Pass the brave at heart can experience the breathtaking excitement of the mountains.
Visitors hover over the gorge on a steel cable. The zip wire is the at-traction of the mountain, which houses an old, yet still active slate mine. The Lake District has profited from slate for many years and the majority of the roofs of the region are covered with it. In the old town-ship of Grasmere, the grey of the houses contrasts with the green of the landscape - a wonderfully idyllic spot.
On the western border of the Lake District, Muncaster Castle stands out between the mountains. The undead are said to walk through the walls after sunset and visitors have told of the inexplicable wailing of a child, seemingly emanating from the walls.
The Penningtons have lived here since 1208 - and with them, their strange company.

A Day Out in the Lake District, UK, on a Mountain Goat “10 Lake Spectacular” Bus Tour - March 2019
A Day Out in the Lake District on a Mountain Goat “10 Lake Spectacular” Bus Tour
We enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Lake District with Mountain Goat. Our driver was Elliot who picked us up at the Laura Ashley, Belsfield Hotel, Bowness-on-Windermere. Elliot seemed to have endless knowledge of the area and gave very interesting commentary.
Feel the atmosphere with this video and its panoramic views. This video includes snow covered mountain tops, valleys, lakes, mountain passes with steep drops, bumpy narrow twisty roads. There are miles of Dry Stone Walls, Farms, cottages, private hotels - previously used to escape city life in London, villages and town of Keswick and Herdwick Sheep.
We travelled out to the lakes and some of the views captured in this video are Troutbeck, Kirkstone Pass, Snow top mountains, Brothers Water, Ullswater (famous for when Donald Campbell broke water speed record in BlueBird K7), saw a Beatrix Potter Farm, walked around Castlerigg Stone Circle Neolithic Circle about 3000BC– overlooks Thirlmere Valley, High Mountain of High Seat & Helvellyn as a back drop, Took a lovely video of Surprise View – The whole of Derwent Water and distant Bassenthwaite Lake, Ashness Bridge - Pack Horse Bridge with Skiddaw in the distance 931m summit, we had afternoon tea at Keswick, Honister Pass, Slate Mine, Buttermere, Grasmere, Ambleside Bridge House – this house was built for 8 people, over the river to avoid paying tax. It`s now owned by the National Trust, and Lake Windermere.
This was our first tour with Mountain Goat Bus who started up in 1972 with 1 bus and now have a fleet. In my opinion our Mountain Goat 10 Lake Spectacular Tour was great value for money and I hope that we will be able to take another tour next time we are in the Lake District.
I`m a nervous passenger and normally drive myself - but I loved this tour.
Thank you for watching. ( I have a lovely group photo if any of the group would like to contact me)
