Superb Guide and Tour - Time was short so what better way to get a flavour of the area than with English Lakes Tours. Our knowledgeable guide Tim took us to places we’d never have found on our own and made sure popular destinations like Dove Cottage booked in advance. John Ruskin's home Brantwood an unexpected delight while Castlerigg Stone Circle and setting were spectacular. No question we’ll do another trip with English Lakes when we return. Thank you for a great day out
