The Lake Poets were inspired by its beauty and made the town fashionable before the Victorians arrived by train and left their indelible stamp. On this walking tour, you’ll travel through the historical periods that define the town we see today. There are several short stops along the way where tour producer Martin Wilson will tell you more about the area and its attractions. There are also plenty of cafes, restaurants, and bars along the route for refreshments.
