I’m planning a mid October trip for 3 adults from both the east and west coasts of the US to the Lake District and I’m finding the best flight options using Edinburgh and Heathrow airports. I’ve been advised to use the train to Penrith from Edinburgh then bus or taxi or car rental to Keswick. We plan to visit several towns using Keswick as a base for 4 nights and including riding with Fell pony adventures in Newby Bridge. If using a rental car, we’d have to return it to Penrith then take the train to London. I could just fly to and from Edinburgh but I thought a day and night in London might be worth the extra travel time. Our interests are mostly scenic, outdoorsy and equine and a ride in Hyde Park is on my list! We’d spend a night or 2 in Edinburgh on arrival since we all love Edinburgh 😊 Does this plan sound reasonable for a 10 day trip or too much moving around? This might be my last super active trip since I’m turning 65 and feeling it 🙄 Thanks!
