2 Day Exploration of Stunning Lake District by Train from London
Upon arrival at Oxenholme, meet your local guide and begin an immersive journey through the charming and artistic Lake District, a region celebrated for its inspiring landscapes and deep literary heritage, most famously linked to beloved children’s author Beatrix Potter. Travel through rolling countryside to the serene beauty of Tarn Hows, where still waters and surrounding woodland create a perfect setting for photographs before continuing into the magnificent Langdale Valley. Named from the Old Norse meaning “long valley,” this dramatic glacial landscape is defined by cascading silver waterfalls, towering rock faces, and sweeping mountain views.
Continue to the medieval village of Hawkshead, nestled between Windermere and Coniston, where cobbled streets, whitewashed cottages, and inviting squares create a timeless atmosphere. Enjoy time to explore, including the Old Grammar School founded in 1585, once attended by poet William Wordsworth. From Hawkshead, travel to Hill Top Farm, the former home of Beatrix Potter and the source of inspiration for many of her cherished characters. During the winter months, this visit is replaced by the enchanting World of Beatrix Potter attraction, where her stories are brought vividly to life.
As the tour continues, enjoy spectacular scenery while passing through the heart of the Lake District, with photo stops at Langdale Valley and the tranquil waters of Blea Tarn. Arrive at Waterhead to board a relaxing cruise across Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, gliding past peaceful Lakeland fells toward Bowness Bay. The day concludes with traditional cream tea at the Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel, once owned by Beatrix Potter herself. Enjoy your evening in the Lake District with a choice of fabulous local restaurants for dinner, followed by accommodation at a hand-picked local 3-star superior hotel. Your second day is free to explore at leisure before your return to London.
