Highland Hotel 7 Day English Lakes & Scottish Lochs
First Day
Travel north, towards Cumbria and the Lake District for your overnight stop in the Lancashire area.
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.
Cruise Loch Linnhe and explore Fort William
You are in the true heart of Scotland when you wake up to the floating mists of Loch Linnhe and the distant hills of Sunart. The breath-taking scenery of Lochaber surrounds your historic hotel from which you will take a trip on the only loch that follows the Great Glen Fault, Loch Linnhe. Enjoy breath taking views of Ben Nevis, enjoy the close up views of the Corpach Shipwreck, the entrance to the Caledonian Canal and explore the small Islands and the birdlife around Corpach. Afterwards, explore the outdoor ‘capital’ of Scotland, Fort William.
Enjoy a scenic train ride on the Kyle of Lochalsh Railway Line
Regarded as one of the world’s most magnificent diesel railway journeys, this day trip will take you from Dingwall to the Kyle of Lochalsh near the Isle of Skye. The magnificent line was begun in 1870 and passes through craggy highland scenery. It took 27 years to complete with 29 hand built bridges, but the result is spectacular and has opened up some of the most dramatic natural landscapes in the country. - Please note the train journey may be in reverse order.
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.
Departure Day from Highland Hotel
After breakfast, we make our journey south to Moffat for a lunch stop before continuing towards Lancashire for dinner and overnight stay.
Last Day
After a leisurely breakfast we return home via Snake Pass and Ladybower reservoir for a lunch stop at the Peak District town of Castleton. For the more adventurous there will be chance to climb the hill to Peveril Castle or browse the gift shops for the famous local gemstone "Blue-John".
