Lakes and Dales

Lake District • Seaside • Yorkshire Dales • Holker Hall and Gardens • Skipton • Cheese Making

Day 1 Travel to your hotel in Morecambe.

Day 2 Venture into the Yorkshire Dales National Park this morning to the renowned Wensleydale Creamery for a demonstration on the making of 'Wallace's' favourite cheese. From Hawes, we travel along the beautiful Garsdale valley passing into Cumbria to 'England's book town', Sedbergh, nestling in the fells. Take time to explore this market town with a selection of shops and eateries before heading along the Lune Valley to Kirby Lonsdale. Flanking three counties, Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire, this quaint market town offers a selection of local shops and cafes to enjoy at your own pace.

Day 3 Travel north this morning for a visit to Holker Hall & Gardens, near Grange-over-Sands. Owned by Lord and Lady Cavendish, Holker Hall is the epitome of country house life before the Great War and the 25 acres of award winning gardens sit beautifully within the surrounding countryside. No visit to the Lake District would be complete without a cruise, so this afternoon sail across Lake Windermere to Bowness. After disembarking, explore this popular holiday village before returning to the hotel.

Day 4 Travelling through the wild open spaces of the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the market town of Clitheroe. Wander through the characterful streets before heading on to charming Skipton to enjoy a relaxing trip on the Leeds/Liverpool canal. Following time at leisure, travel back to the hotel via Settle, if time allows.

Day 5 Homeward bound.
