Visit Beatrix Potter’s summer home, explore the heavenly countryside and attend a gala dinner at Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir
What we love:
The gala dinner at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons will be a night to
remember. Dine on Provençal-inspired cuisine in the Belle Epoque
dining room of an exquisite Oxfordshire country house.
Admire some of England's finest rural scenery with this
ultra-luxurious journey on Britain's newest luxury sleeper train,
the Britannic Explorer.
From England's highest peak to the country's deepest lake, the
Lake District National Park is packed full of glorious
landscapes.
Your adventure begins at London Victoria, where you'll board the
train and take some time to settle into your private quarters
before heading to the dining car for a Cumbrian Afternoon Tea.
Your route to the Lake District will take you through the heart
of England, winding through the picturesque landscapes of
Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, and South Yorkshire.
As night descends, take your seat for a dinner, crafted by
Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan before retreating to your
tranquil suite for a restful night's sleep.
The following morning you'll be greeted by scenic views of the
Forest of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales National Park and
eventually arrive in Workington - the gateway to the Lake District.
From here you'll visit the Lingholm Estate, where Beatrix Potter
once spent her idyllic summers.
Spend the rest of the afternoon as you wish, perhaps on a guided
open-water swim, meeting alpacas, or hiking before another
delicious dinner with live entertainment.
Your third day begins with a sparkling Bellini as you wind your
way through the Peak District down to Oxfordshire.
A real highlight of the trip will be a gala dinner in the Le
Belle Époque dining room at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, Raymond
Blanc's famous country estate - a fitting way to end your last full
day on this luxurious escape.
