Leaving Manchester, we drive north into Lake District National Park and head to one of the most popular towns in the Lake District, Ambleside, hugged by some of England's finest scenery. Here you'll have time to explore and grab a bite to eat.

We then drive to Kirkstone Pass for some photos. This is the Lake District's highest pass that is open to motor traffic, and you'll just love the views.

Next up we journey along the shores of Ullswater. This lake is often described as England's most beautiful lake, and it's here we give you the chance to take a forest walk and see the mighty Aira Force waterfall.

The final stop of the day is another incredible view as we take you to Friar's Crag, an amazing promontory that overlooks the lake of Derwentwater.

You have a short journey into the lively market town of Keswick where you're dropped off at your accommodation and free to explore the charming town.

Your first stop of the day really is one of wonder. The mysterious Castlerigg standing stones were thought to have been built over 5,000 years ago and were once a lively hub of ancient pagan rituals.

After exploring the past, you take the narrow country lanes towards Grasmere, which Wordsworth described as 'the loveliest spot that man hath found'.

There's free time to visit Wordsworth's Dove Cottage, taste the legendary gingerbread, or enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Wordsworth Daffodil Garden by the River Rothy.

Time for lunch in Bowness-on-Windermere, a town sitting snuggly alongside Lake Windermere. This area is filled with adorable villages and surrounded by beautiful scenery. You might enjoy an optional boat cruise on the lake, a truly wonderful way to take in the sights.

That afternoon you continue to explore this wonderful region, including a stop at Langdale Boulders where you might spot some prehistoric rock art.

After a stop in the cosy village of Hawkshead, you return to Keswick in the early evening.

Last day of the trip, but don't despair. There's still plenty of adventure to be had today. You journey along winding lanes, past the shores of Crummock Water and Buttermere, and towards the Honister Mountain Pass.

Stopping amongst the mountains you have the opportunity to see old slate workings, where a small number of Cumbrians continue to make their living.

Next up is something that will stop you in your tracks. The enormous Bowder Stone fell 200 metres from the Bowder Crag more than 10,000 years ago. The stone is an estimated 2,000 tonnes, around 9 metres high and 15 metres in diameter. Imagine the sound it would have made upon impact.

You head back into Keswick for a nice bite to eat before heading to the lovely shores of Ullswater for a walk.

Your last big stop of the day is in the market town of Kendal. Here you have time to explore and enjoy the cobbled streets and heritage to be found. From here you return to Manchester.
