About your host

We are a small, family-run business which officially came into existence in May 2018 but our story goes back further than that. After decades of showing friends and family around the Lake District, our founders, Tim and Gill, took the opportunity to change careers and set up English Lakes Tours so that we can now show everybody around the Lake District. When we create a tour, we do months of research, including the iconic bits but also the unusual, just as interesting bits that nobody else does. We find the best views, include the best locations and give you all the best info, insider tips and stories. Routes are travelled at different times of day and in different directions; venues and attractions are visited so that we can be sure you get the best experiences; we check out the cafes, bars and restaurants so that we can take you to places with great food and atmosphere. We feel very strongly that our relationship with the Lake District, the people and the places, the wildlife and the environment is extremely important. We always try to tread lightly on environmental issues and we respect the privacy, property and lives of the local people to make sure that you get a warm welcome wherever and whenever you go. We also believe that we should put something back into the local economy and not simply take for our own profit. We support many local charities, organisations and societies because without them as our partners we would have no venues to visit, no nature to wonder at and no specialist expertise to draw upon to enable us to create outstanding tours for you.
