A series of themed Tour Experiences focusing on the Coniston Valley are planned for 2012. Blue Badge Guides are working with the Coniston attractions to deliver entertaining and informative tours “by boat, boot and bike”, which will bring the area alive with stories of the people and events that have shaped this fascinating valley.
Throughout the winter, guides are leading weekly Welcome Walks in Kendal, Windermere, Appleby and Kirkby Lonsdale or by arrangement in villages and towns across Cumbria. For further details, please email walks@cumbriatouristguides.co.uk or ‘phone 07531 527474.
