Great day out

Published on Apr, 2025

Mark and Tony gave us a great day out sharing their in-depth knowledge in the commentary. The narrow, steep, twisting Wrynose and Hardknott Passes were expertly negotiated by Mark on our way to Muncaster Castle. Here we were served a delicious lunch, followed by a Birds of Prey display and self-guided tour of the castle. Many thanks to Mark and Tony who were helpful and courteous throughout our very enjoyable trip.

A great day out in the south Lake District.

A lovely day spent travelling the south Lake District on this trip. Our driver, Tony, was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful without being overly chatty whilst driving. The weather certainly helped provide some lovely views of the Lakes and we drove up roads which I certainly would not have been confident enough to do so. A great trip which I would recommend to anyone wanting to see more of the wonderful scenery without the hassle of driving.
