If you want to treat yourself or a loved one then why not have a relaxing day by heading to a spa then taking a moderate walk to a less visited fell with great views over Skiddaw and potentially all the way over the Solway Firth to Scotland. Then finish your day with afternoon tea aboard a full-size replica steam train, used as the filmset for the 2017 film, Murder on the Orient Express located on a restored former railway station.
Morning
Relax at The Spa at Underscar. Indulge yourself with the inviting pool, jacuzzi or detoxifying sauna and soothing steam room.
Afternoon
Work up an appetite by walking up or around Sale Fell. Then head to the nearby Bassenthwaite Lake Station for a delicious afternoon tea.
