The scenery is spectacular with most roadside trees just beginning to develop buds. The landscape was “saturated” with moss, stone walls and waterfalls. In addition, it was good to be given enough time to appreciate every attraction, too, with just enough time in Grasmere village to catch lunch. One could find other pursuits that go hand- in-hand with sightseeing, such as walking, visiting a farm, or scouting the shops at Bowness- on- Windermere. But, we were leaving the area right after the tour, so it made sense to hit for the tour option. Even though the drivers were charming on both of our two Mtn. Goat tours, (the other was the Beatrix Potter homes, the day after we arrived on Bowness-on-Windermere), they can only entertain so much. One could spend a half-day more productively if the climate were different - as, on a sunny day - but I would prefer to remain under cover of a big van as long as it’s raining. The view down from the top of Ridley pass - and the one from the peak itself - would have been even better were it not for being fogged in. Nobody’s fault there, Overall, a good way to pass the time even on a day that might be lost to weather, anyway.

Duncan was a wonderful tour guide. Even though there was a road closure which affected the trip itinerary, he adjusted and showed us some additional beautiful sights to make up for it. I highly recommend this tour!!
