Please note: The Lakeland Motor Museum is 2 miles away from the pier at Lakeside and unfortunately there is no shuttle service between the pier and the Motor Museum. Walking is not advised due to the busy road. This ticket allows the customer to enjoy a cruise on the lake, then visit the Motor Museum separately. The Motor Museum entrance is valid for up to 5 days after purchase. |
A return Yellow Cruise (Bowness ↔ Lakeside) along the southern half of England's largest lake. The cruises offers stunning views of woodlands, historic houses and beautiful gardens.
