 The Lake District is a spectacular area of the country with its majestic fells and sparkling lakes - the very essence of the Lakeland landscape. Add to this a cluster of bustling Lakeland towns and villages, peaceful valleys and traditional squares and courtyards - these are just some of the things that add to its unique charm, making it the perfect holiday destination.
The Southern end of the Lake District has a gentler landscape and all the essentials for the cyclist to enjoy. Bustling towns and picturesque villages nestle against a backdrop of lush, gentle countryside crisscrossed by a pattern of quiet lanes.
On these tours you can potter around some of these charming Lakeland towns and villages exploring the history of the area with its castles and historical houses, or you can simply enjoy the glorious countryside. Whatever the weather, there is something for everyone.
 Highlights include; Cartmel with its wonderful twelfth century Priory Church and famous for its sticky toffee pudding; t he pretty, narrow cobbled streets, squares, courtyards and whitewashed cottages of Hawkshead; Ambleside, one of the jewels of the Lakes, set in the centre of the Lake District at the head of Lake Windermere; and of course, Windermere itself with its multitude of charming pubs and restaurants to relax in at the end of the day.
