After a relaxing breakfast we have time to get to know the town. Later we travel south, along the edge of Thirlmere, to the small village of Grasmere. We visit Wordsworth’s home at Rydal Mount and spend a little time in nearby Ambleside before returning to Keswick, in good time to freshen up before dinner.

This morning we board a steam boat at Pooley Bridge for a trip on Ullswater, often described as England’s most beautiful lake, and generally acknowledged as the setting for Wordsworth’s "Daffodils". We disembark at Glenridding, on the southern end of the lake, and drive over the amazing Kirkstone Pass to Windermere, where we spend the afternoon.

We return south this morning as far as Ambleside before turning west along the edge of Coniston, through Penny Bridge and Low Wood to Holker Hall, a stately home set in 200 acres of parkland with an immaculately kept 25 acre garden. We visit the house, gardens and the fascinating motor museum before driving to Lakeside at the south end of Lake Windermere.

In late afternoon we make our way to the hotel via several places which have featured in our tour - back through Bowness-on-Windermere, Ambleside and Grasmere to Keswick.

After breakfast we commence our return journey home via southern Scotland to Stranraer where, due to popular demand, we take the afternoon Stena HSS sailing back to Belfast. We arrive in the Europa Buscentre at around 5.00pm.
