Our day begins with a short ride to Haverthwaite Station. Here we catch the train to Lakeside where we visit the Aquarium of the Lakes - Britain's largest freshwater aquarium. Next, we join the 'steamer' for a cruise to Bowness. Disembarking here, we have time for lunch followed by an afternoon free for you to enjoy the town. Later we rejoin the coach for the journey along the shore road back to the hotel. |
