Days out & scenic buses in: Cumbria

Discover the enchanting landscapes of Cumbria: a scenic journey through vibrant towns and rolling hills by bus

Set your sights on Cumbria, where the adventure begins as soon as you board the train to Penrith. From there, hop onto the iconic 508 bus and wind your way into the heart of the Lake District. You’ll glide past shimmering lakes and lush valleys, each more picturesque than the last.

Once you’ve alighted in Keswick, savour the freshness of Derwentwater or stroll over to the charming Theatre by the Lake. Fancy a taste of the local scene? Pop into Booths for a Cumbrian-inspired picnic before heading off to explore nearby Catbells fell.

Craving a bit more adventure? The bus route to Grasmere invites you to continue your voyage, with Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage awaiting your arrival. Cumbria’s allure lies not just in its destinations, but in every moment of the journey itself—without a car, you’ll find freedom in the scenic routes and hidden gems along the way.
