TOUR DESCRIPTION
Take a step back in time when Romans claimed the land, castles were in place of houses and gardens stretched down to the lake shores with their vibrant bouquet of colors. This tour will take you to a place that's steeped in history and secrets, myths and legends that now lie in the chasm of mountains and bottomless lakes.

This tour is seasonal and operates from January to October only.

Nothing in Britain surpasses the grandeur of Lakeland's central mountains. The route is that fashioned by Emperor Hadrians's Roman legions in the first century AD. Over Wrynose and Hardknott Passes, the steepest in England, pausing to view the extensive remains of Hardknott Roman Fort, before descending into lovely Eskdale.

Following lunch you will embark on the famous steam railway journey through Eskdale and onward to Wasdale and Wastwater (England's deepest and most dramatic lake).

The next destination is the splendid 14th century castle of Muncaster, a treasure chest of fine period furniture, tapestries, silverware, paintings, portraits and porcelain. In its internationally acclaimed gardens you will find magnificent examples of azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons and also have opportunity to visit the World Owl Trust.

The beautiful scenery of the Coniston Fells and Coniston Water bring to an end this classic of all Lake District tours.
