Start your journey early in the morning from London as you head north towards the enchanting Peak District, England’s first National Park. Your first stop will be the charming market town of Bakewell. Notably famous for its pretty courtyards, boutique shops, ambiance and, most particularly, the Bakewell Pudding or Tart. We then continue to Buxton, often referred to as the “Gateway to the Peak District National Park”. Explore ancient Roman spas, admire the grand Opera House and much more.

This morning, after breakfast, we drive through the magnificent Lake District National Park in Cumbria, with its numerous lakes and home to stunning views and woodland - be sure to be mesmerised by the natural beauty recently named a World Heritage Site.
