There are few better times of the year than winter to explore the Lake District, recently crowned the UK\u2019s best staycation destination according to research conducted by Sykes Holiday Cottages. The best part? You can easily get around, seeing all the sights from the comfort of a Stagecoach bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re wandering through Windermere, shopping in Ambleside or enjoying a crisp, quiet walk by Derwentwater, Stagecoach\u2019s Lakes by Bus guide makes it easier than ever to leave the car behind. Choose the sustainable, affordable, and stress-free way to travel the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for an affordable adventure, a single fare costs just \u00a33, making it easy to hop on and off as you explore the area\u2019s many attractions. For those planning a more extended stay or more frequent journeys, you can also take advantage of the North West Explorer ticket<\/a>, which allows you to hop on and off as much as you like over a one, three, or seven-day period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors staying in guest houses, hotels, or campsites are encouraged to leave their cars parked and take the bus. You\u2019ll save on parking costs, avoid congested roads, and help protect the Lake District\u2019s world-famous landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stagecoach’s Lakes by Bus winter guide<\/a>, which includes full timetables, suggested scenic outings, ticket information, and travel tips to help you make the most of your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From iconic routes such as Ambleside<\/a> to Grasmere<\/a> or Keswick<\/a> to Buttermere<\/a>, to hidden gems like Hawkshead<\/a> and Tarn Hows, buses offer a front-row seat to some of Britain’s most spectacular scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For added convenience, passengers can download the Stagecoach Bus App<\/a> to plan journeys, buy tickets, and check real-time running information – perfect for spontaneous adventures or day trips. You can also buy your ticket on the day from the bus driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting sustainable travel<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tom Waterhouse, Managing Director Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire, said: \u201cUsing public transport to explore the Lakes helps reduce congestion and carbon emissions in the National Park, which attracts over 19 million visitors a year. By choosing the bus, travellers are supporting sustainable tourism while still enjoying the freedom to discover the Lakes\u2019 charming towns, villages, and outdoor attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether you\u2019re visiting for the weekend or planning a longer staycation, Stagecoach\u2019s Lakes by Bus network makes exploring the Lake District easy, affordable and eco-friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gill Haigh, Managing Director of Cumbria Tourism, also championed the benefits of bus travel: \u201cWinter is a brilliant time to explore the Lake District and travelling by bus makes it even easier for people to enjoy the season and really take the time to soak up the magnificent scenery, to visit the many seasonal events and enjoy Cumbria\u2019s bounty of attractions and superb food and drink and retail offer. With the \u00a33 fare cap still in place, it\u2019s also a really cost-effective and hassle-free way to get around, plus it\u2019s better for the environment too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why visit the Lake District in winter?<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Lake District has long been recognised as one of the most breathtaking destinations in the UK, with two of its locations – Windermere and Keswick – recently named among the nation\u2019s top summer hotspots by The Mail. And winter offers quieter trails, cosy pubs, and dramatic views, all without the crowds of spring and summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few highlights Cumbria has to offer\u2026<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\ude8c The 555 – Britain’s most scenic bus route?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Welcome<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Welcome<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is no better way to see the Lakes than from the top deck of the 555, and now, thanks to the national fare cap, passengers can travel all the way from Lancaster to Keswick for a bargain \u00a33 fare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lancaster-Keswick bus route is arguably the most scenic bus route in Britain, offering views of six lakes \u2013 Windermere, Rydal Water, Grasmere, Thirlmere, Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite \u2013 and traversing the foot of Helvellyn, England\u2019s third-highest mountain. The 555 runs hourly throughout the winter and half-hourly in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find out more on our dedicated The Lakes Connections 555 route page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keswick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keswick is situated in one of the most stunning locations in Cumbria, nestled between Derwentwater and the Lakeland fells. If you have no real plans, then time spent just soaking up the beauty of the town is time well spent. Keswick is a thriving tourist destination, but it also offers so much for day-trippers and is easily accessible by bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From shopping to a distillery, open spaces to theatres, and galleries to outdoor pursuits, it is a destination for everyone. It was granted a market charter in 1276 by Edward I, and that market continues to this day. Discover more about this wonderful town on our Keswick destination page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kendal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For many visitors, Kendal is seen as the southern gateway to the Lakes. Another long-established market town, it is an abundance of hidden places, quaint streets and quirky cafes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsure what to do? Kendal offers a great starting point, with its 12th-century castle, an enticing assortment of coffee shops and eateries, Abbot Hall and a host of galleries, you are sure to find something to keep you occupied. And if you need any more convincing, it is the home of fell walkers’ (and others!) favourite, Kendal Mint Cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cockermouth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cockermouth is a vibrant Georgian market town steeped in history; it is also the proud birthplace of Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian, leader of the Mutiny on the Bounty. Visitors can take their time meandering around many delightful antique shops and galleries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, take advantage of an abundance of independent shops and eateries all along one high street, and make a day trip of it. Positioned at the junction of the Rivers Cocker and Derwent, Cockermouth is often called the gateway to the Western Lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlisle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As the only city in Cumbria, Carlisle is home to a wide range of places to visit and venues to explore. From enjoying a tasty lunch or dinner at one of the many great restaurants to shopping in the historic quarter or browsing the monthly farmers\u2019 market, catching a bus into the city provides hours of entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlisle Cathedral is well worth a visit. Known for its famous starlight ceiling, stunning monastic gardens and exhibitions at the Fratry, its 900-year-old history means there is plenty to keep you busy. See how many misericords you can spot on the choir stalls, dating back to 1400, or marvel at the detail in the various stained glass windows, before enjoying a well-deserved cuppa in the award-winning caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art and history lovers can take a tour around Britain\u2019s most besieged castle, or explore the variety of exhibitions on display at Tullie, which proudly describes itself as \u201cmuseum, art gallery, community hub and generally great place\u201d.
