The Kentmere Horseshoe - a lovely full day walk in the Lake District with 5 or 6 or summits to bag and a section of "High Street" on top - an old Roman Road right up on top of the fells. It's been a while since I did it and probably beyond me now.

Seen here from Sandside across the Kent Estuary about 20 miles away.

The Lakes have some wonderful surprises, that magnificent photo, taken from The Kent Estuary, would have another surprise in store. Just turn around and catch a shot of the estuary. The railway crossing may not emulate the famous Glenfinnan viaduct, further north, for romantic architecture, but it's still seriously impressive.

Stunning!
 
We spent a few days in the Lake District. We took a half day tour that included Beatrix Potter's home. The next day we took an all day 7 lakes tour that included a boat ride in a classic wooden steamer.
Many years ago my late wife and I took a multimodal trip to the Ulverston glass works from Bowness. It was done ny lake steamer, steam train, car and bus.
