4th Day on the North Trip and Home

We spent the entire day in the lake district. We started off at Hill Top house, the home of Beatrix Potter. We then hiked down and ferried across to Bowness and then took another ferry to Ambleside. All of this on lake Windermere. We had a delicious lunch in Ambleside wandered the town and then went on a lovely ramble on some public footpaths over stiles and through the fields. It was "ridiculously" beautiful to quote the cheese man in Whitby.
This is the view from our first YHA on Lake Windermere. We spent the 2nd night in Hawkshead on the Esthwait. Both were great.


Pictures from our ramble.

A quick visit to the Preston temple. (sorry I don't know how to turn this)


The last day we stopped at some church history sites, preston, the river Ribble, and .Then we had a long haul home. It was a ridiculously good trip.
