Private Tour: 8 Lakes and magnificent scenery - Afternoon tour

Relaxing afternoon with beautiful views

We came to the Lake Districts specifically to do this tour on our way down from Edinburgh to London. Tim collected us from the station at Windermere, put our luggage in the back and off we went. This place is stunningly beautiful and we lucked out by being here when it is quieter which was a nice surprise. I can't remember all of the spots we visited but the stone circle at Castlerigg, Ashness Bridge and Surprise view were outstanding. It was a still afternoon so the lakes were like a glass and Ullswater, Derwentwater, Rydal water, Windermere and Grasmere were so beautiful. Tim told us all about the history of the area and was very friendly and fun. We finished the afternoon buying gingerbread which was delicious and Tim kindly agreed to join us for a coffee when he dropped us off at Linthwaite House. Such a relaxing afternoon after the crowds in Edinburgh.
