Lake District Coach Tour from London

Windermere, Ambleside and the fells — a multi-day private coach tour

16, 19, 29, 49 or 57-seat coaches Multi-day tour (2–3 days)

A private coach tour from London to the Lake District takes your group to Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere and the surrounding fells over a relaxed multi-day trip, with a professional driver throughout. Available in 16- to 57-seat coaches. Request a price for your group size and dates.

The Lake District is around 5 to 6 hours north of London, so we run it as a multi-day private coach tour rather than a rushed day trip. Your group stays together in one coach with one driver for the whole journey — through the lakes, villages and mountain passes.

A typical itinerary takes in Windermere and a lake cruise, Ambleside and Grasmere, Beatrix Potter and Wordsworth country, and a drive over one of the scenic passes. We build the route and stops around your dates; hotels can be booked by you or suggested by us.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the Lake District a multi-day tour?
It's a 5–6 hour drive each way from London, so a single day would be mostly travelling. Over two or three days your group can actually explore the lakes and fells.
Is a lake cruise included?
Cruise tickets aren't part of the coach hire, but a Windermere cruise is a popular addition — we'll time the day around it and can advise on booking.
Are hotels included?
The price covers the coach, driver and driving. Accommodation isn't included, but we can suggest group-friendly hotels around Windermere and Ambleside.
How big a group can you take?
From 16 up to 57 passengers in a single coach, with multiple vehicles for larger groups.
