Two Fabulous Attractions In The English Lake District
Posted by young traveller on 11/28/08 in Travel
Two wonderful attractions for the whole family in the English Lake District: the steam yacht Gondola on Coniston Water and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway near Lake Windermere.
Gondola is a reconstructed steam yacht which offers a wonderful, nostalgic sailing experience on Coniston Water in the amazing scenery of the ENglish Lake Distroct.
The original Gondola was launched in 1859 and is perefectly recreated in today’s Gondola which certainly reflects the elegance and splendour of the Victorian era. Passengers can relax as they watch the stunning scenery of the Coniston Fells glide past the windows of the opulently upholstered saloon. While evoking memories of a distant era, Gondola glides almost silently along, powered by a very modern eco-fuel: wonderfully clean burning logs made from waste wood chips.
