Our tour of the Lake District includes a cruise on Lake Coniston, gliding through the waters (for which the area is very famous) against the dramatic backdrop of the District's mountains.
Then on to the picturesque medieval village of Hawkshead, with an enchanting combination of whitewashed houses, its cobbled streets, narrow alleyways overlooked by a 16th Century Church. We make our way to Hill Top, the inspiration for many of Beatrix Potter's characters.
