Scenic breaks by coach to the Lake District
Book a coach holiday visiting the picturesque Lake District, the largest National Park in England, and home to Scafell Pike, the country’s highest mountain.
With its beautiful rolling countryside, the Lake District is now designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting millions of visitors every year from all over the globe.
