Great days out and great discounts - without a car
Enjoy days out
There is a special set of leaflets covering the Keswick to Glenridding service, the Ullswater Connexion and the Glenridding to Bowness service, the Kirkstone Rambler, which connect at Glenridding. These have great ideas for days out from these services and include lots of discounts you can get - only by showing a ticket from these two services. For example you can get discounts on Windermere Lake Cruises and Ullswater Steamers, reductions on food and drink and reduced entry to attractions in Keswick.

Discover leaflets
