Enjoy a relaxing train journey to the spectacular Lake District National Park Area. Travel through the Midlands passing canals, market towns, to reach Oxenholme where your tour starts.Highlights of the day include acruise on one of the lakes and a visit to the the medieval village of Hawkshead.

Hill Top, the inspiration for many of Beatrix Potter's winsome and delicate illustrations, is also included on this tour. The author’s home remains exactly as she left it and in each room there's something that appears in one of her books. The cottage garden contains the same pleasing mix of flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables as grown by Beatrix.
