Guided Discovery Tour at Conistonwater

View larger map

Join one of our Discovery Tours and you will really get into the heart of the local countryside. These are sightseeing tours by minibus, enabling access to places not normally reached by large coaches. Excursions will take place on five days, leaving one free day to explore independently. We stop to look at views, explore villages and market towns and enjoy gentle strolls in the countryside. With our small groups and friendly leaders, this is a great way to enjoy Britain at its best.

Southern Lakeland has an abundance of delightful valleys and mountains, many of which were immortalised by the Lakeland poets and authors who lived here or visited this beautiful region. Along our scenic routes, often inaccessible to larger vehicles, there will be ample opportunity for photography stops and short easy strolls. From dramatic mountains to ancient standing stones and pretty villages built in the local slate, there will be plenty of fascinating locations where you can learn about the local history, do some bird-spotting, or just enjoy a cup of tea.
