In addition to the high rocky fells, wooded valleys and sparkling lakes familiar to most visitors, there are many fascinating and little known historic areas to be discovered. Medieval castles, Peel towers, monastic ruins, Roman remains, Georgian towns and ports, ancient country churches, henges and stone circles wait to be discovered. These will be explored and explained with the help of visiting speakers, a comfortable minibus and the knowledge and great enthusiasm of the tutor.
