Get your discount tickets for the Lake District Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour: Grasmere & Keswick, save up to 9% !
Overview
This self-guided driving tour costs less than one seat on a tour bus, because you pay per car, not per person. Starting in Ambleside, it takes you through the heart of the Lake District to Grasmere, Keswick and the shores of Ullswater, with stories that play automatically as you drive. Pass Rydal Water and Rydal Mount, Wordsworth's home for 37 years, then stop in Grasmere, the village he called 'the loveliest spot that man hath ever found'. Climb Dunmail Raise, where legend says the last king of Cumbria lies buried, and hear how a valley was flooded to create Thirlmere. Walk among the 5,000-year-old stones of Castlerigg, then wind along Ullswater before the final climb over Kirkstone Pass. Download before you set off and it works offline in the fells. Buy once and keep it for life. Stop when you want - the GPS will guide you. Highlights: • Wordsworth's Grasmere and Rydal Mount • Castlerigg Stone Circle • Thirlmere and the legend of King Dunmail • Ullswater and the Kirkstone Pass
