My husband and I took the train from London to the Lake District (I don't think it was this exact tour) where we were met by Gerry who drove us through the green pastures and winding roads of the Lake District in a comfortable van. There were a few stops to see little towns and a chance to shop briefly, but this was mostly a tour for people who want to get a feel for the area. No hiking and minimal walking. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the visit. The area is a picture postcard come to life. Gerry is a native of the area and could share a lot of personal information about how it has changed over the years. He was also an enthusiastic fan of Beatrix Potter, an early conservationist, and now I want to learn more about her life. Our tour included a boat ride on Lake Windemere.
