This full-day Mountain Goat tour departs from Windermere and lasts about eight and a half hours. The tour travels by small mini-coach through the Lake District, focusing on lakes and mountains. The driver-guide provides commentary in English about the area's history, geology, and notable people. The tour begins at the main pickup point in Windermere at 9:25 a.m. and first passes Lake Derwent for views of the water and surrounding countryside. Next, there is a one-hour stop in Keswick to explore the town independently. After Keswick, the route continues through the Borrowdale Valley and stops for about ten minutes at Honister Pass to see views of the fells. The tour then passes a man-made reservoir near Helvellyn. A fifteen-minute stop in the village of Grasmere allows time to visit St Oswald's Church and the grave of poet William Wordsworth. Another fifteen-minute stop is made at Castlerigg Stone Circle, an ancient site about 4,000 years old, offering panoramic views. The tour also includes passing Buttermere Lake, known for its picturesque setting. There is a designated lunch break where food and drink can be purchased, and toilet stops are available throughout the day. Minimal walking is required, but the vehicles are not wheelchair accessible. Children must be over five years old to join. Luggage storage is available at the Windermere departure location. Due to a landslide, Kirkstone Pass is closed, so Brotherswater and Ullswater are not included; instead, the driver-guide will take passengers to other notable lakes and sites in the area.
