The steam train made its way to Lakeside, Windermere where the children boarded the ‘Teal’ and enjoyed the beautiful Lakeland countryside as they sailed up Lake Windermere to Brockhole Visitors Centre.

After a quick lunch they split into groups and enjoyed an afternoon of…

Pond dipping – where the children caught a range of pond life from amazing newts to supersize water snails.
