Day 3 Today we head to Glenridding on Ullswater and enjoy a one-hour steamer trip on the second largest and possibly most beautiful lake in England. We then cross the Kirkstone Pass to Windermere and spend some free time in Bowness-on-Windermere before returning to our hotel.

Our route was pioneered by the Romans, and is focused on the Western Lake District, taking in Wrynose and Hardknott Passes, a remote 2nd-century Roman fort, England’s deepest lake and the grounds of Muncaster Castle.
