Highland Hotel 7 Day English Lakes & Scottish Lochs
First Day - South Hotels
Travel north, towards Cumbria and the Lake District for your overnight stop in the Lancashire area.
Second Day - South Lakes
After breakfast we make our way to England's most famous and largest lake, Windermere. There will be a stop in the picturesque town of Bowness, close to the point on the lake where steamers leave for the islands and other shore side settlements. Early afternoon we continue our journey north through Rannoch Moor and Glencoe to our Highland Hotel in Fort William.
A visit to the Loch Ness Centre
Discover the history of Loch Ness from the ice age to the third millennium in a seven room, themed, automated walk through. Explore the history of the loch and the many mysteries and explorations that have surrounded its past. Learn about the rumours, the hoaxes and the truths and discover what may really live in Loch Ness. Using a highly effective mixture of animations, lasers and special effects, visitors can experience the history of the monster by exploring Scotland’s geological past and folklore. Find out what has been discovered and what research has been done and view some of the actual equipment used to explore and navigate the Loch.
Inverness
Also known as the ‘Highland Capital’, Inverness is the main city in the Scottish Highlands and although it is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe it still retains its market town atmosphere. Inverness offers a wide range of local produce and shops to explore as well as castles and heritage sites. We will travel via Loch Laggan and through scenic glens into the very heart of Scotland, Aviemore, a popular highland resort and centre for both summer visitors and winter skiers.
Jacobite Steam Train
The Jacobite Steam Train is described as the greatest railway journey in the world and explores some of the best landscapes in the Scottish Highlands. The trip begins near Ben Nevis, Great Britain’s highest mountain, before heading west to Arisaig. The Jacobite line then passes close by the deepest freshwater Loch in Britain, Loch Morar, and the shortest river in Britain, River Morar. Finally, the train passes alongside Loch Nevis, the deepest seawater Loch in Europe.
Heading Home - North Hotel
After breakfast, we make our journey south to Moffat before continuing to your Hotel near the Scottish Borders for dinner and overnight stay.
Last Day - North Hotel
After breakfast, we make our journey south heading towards the Lake District calling into Bassenthwaite Lake, the most northerly and also one of the largest at 4 miles long and 3/4 mile wide, yet with no major settlements on its shores. We continue to the popular resort and market town of Keswick, nestling between the bulk of Skiddaw, and the beauty of Derwentwater. We continue on the the M6 at Penrith and continue our journey home.
