Monday 02nd: Depart from your home area in the morning travelling to Morecambe, arriving late afternoon at the Strathmore Hotel.
Tuesday 03rd: Today’s excursion takes us around Morecambe Bay to Grange-over-Sands where we take a break and have chance to look around. From here we make our way to the magnificent Holker Hall and Gardens. The Hall dates back to the 16th century and includes exhibits from Chatsworth and furniture by
Chippendale. This afternoon we visit the Lakeland Motor Museum, housing some 30,000 exhibits including cars, bikes, tractors and all kinds of memorabilia.
Wednesday 04th: This morning we travel via the scenic Lune Valley and head for the stunning Yorkshire Dale’s National Park. We climb into the Pennines, past the famous viaduct at Ribblehead, continuing across the moors to the market town of Hawes, home to Wensleydale Creamery, producer of Yorkshire’s famous
cheese. We return via Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale to Morecambe where you can spend the rest of this afternoon at leisure.
Thursday 05th: ‘High Adventure’! The ‘Mountain Goat’ minibuses take us where large coaches cannot go. This is a wonderful day, taking in the mountain passes of the Western Fells – Wrynose Pass, the desolate Duddon Valley and the awesome Hardknott Pass. See the lonely Roman Fort as we descend into Eskdale for a ride on L’al Ratty – the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, before seeing Wastwater – voted Britain’s favourite view – we then visit Muncaster Castle Garden
and Owl Sanctuary. From here we return via the southern fells.
Friday 06th: We leave after breakfast travelling via Southport, a great coastal town to explore and have lunch before continuing our journey home.
