During your stay

• We head to Haverthwaite where we step back in time on a nostalgic journey aboard the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway’s Heritage Steam Train and enjoy the sights between the picturesque Leven Valley and Lakeside at the southern tip of Lake Windermere.
We Explore the beauty of Lake Windermere on a Scenic Cruise. We enjoy magnificent views of mountain scenery, secluded bays, and many wooded islands as we cruise England’s largest lake.
Bowness-on-Windermere, a charming enclave on the eastern shores of the lake, where we enjoy free time in this bustling town with its craft and gift shops, lakeside cafés and tea rooms.
We head to the Historic Town of Skipton. Known as the ‘Gateway to the Dales’, Skipton also has a grand medieval castle as its centrepiece.
We embark on a Narrowboat Cruise of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. As we gently cruise through the beautiful Yorkshire scenery, a hilarious recorded commentary by award-winning comedian Dave Spikey (of Phoenix Nights fame) tells us more about Skipton and the canal’s fascinating history. Please note: some rail and boat journeys may operate in reverse order. The Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway reserves the right to substitute the steam locomotive with an alternative diesel-powered locomotive without notice or refund.
