Ten Lakes Spectacular tour covers Ten Lakes, three mountain passes and an extended lake cruise from the mountains to moorland on Ullswater - "Queen of the English Lakes", a beautiful waterfall, Castlerigg Stone Circle and the ancient township of Keswick for lunch. Certainly the most comprehensive, popular and satisfying tour in the Lake District, visiting central, north, north-west and north-east parts of Cumbria with so many stops for photographs and short walks.

Your short break also includes the High Mountain Passes Spectacular. The route is one fashioned by Emperor Hadrian's Roman legions in the first century. Over the Wrynose and Hardknott passes, the steepest in England, pausing to view the extensive remains of Hardknott Roman Fort, before descending to lovely Eskdale. Following lunch you embark on the famous steam railway journey through Eskdale and onwards 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.

Want to tour the back roads of Yorkshire but don't want to join a large coach group? Looking for a little flexibility and spontaneity in your itinerary? Do you have a few days to really get deep into the countryside?

It is hardly surprising that the region has been used extensively for film and TV locations. It is perhaps one of the most varied scenic regions in the country. However, it is perhaps as well-known for being at the very heart of England's Viking past, when the Norsemen ran their "Danelaw" from the great settlement of Jorvic. Later, it became the medieval walled city of York and there rose the greatest of all English cathedrals. On this tour you'll see the austere, heather covered moorlands of Jane Eyre, the hills and lakes of the north eastern Peaks, Captain Cook's north east coast, and the rolling landscape of the Dales.

With a maximum group size of 11 and a university educated guide/driver, you are sure to have a memorable and personal experience.
