    108 StagePath the family way to walk Venture back-stage: Ride & Stride with the Patterdale Bus 108 StagePath Venture back-stage: Ride & Stride with the Patterdale Bus The complete green tourism experience combining car, bus, boot and perhaps even boat. INTRODUCING the second dedicated walking route to a Lakeland bus service – also check out the 555 StagePath from Windermere to Keswick. Four walk stages link the regular bus stops for the Patterdale Bus. Take a ticket to ride on Stagecoach’s 108 service on its journey between Penrith to Patterdale then experience the theatre and drama of Lakeland on foot. In piecemeal fashion - drive to each stage-end bus stop - ride back to the preceding bus stop and walk the course of the bus’s majestic run by river, lake and fellside path. The first two walk stages are easy pastoral strolls, the second two encounter the contours and are therefore more energetic, but correspondingly scenically the more stunning too. Discover remarkable historic locations such as Brougham Castle and Brocavum Roman Fort, Mayburgh Henge, King Arthur’s Round Table and Barton Church. Marvel at the delicious beauties of Ullswater visiting Pooley Bridge, Gowbarrow Park, Aira Force and the high bowl of Glencoyne Head, Keldas and Grisedale. A rising crescendo of scenic pleasure from town to country, from riverside path and placid lake to exalted mountain realm in the shadow of Helvellyn and St. Sunday Crag. As a wonderful finalé you can also cruise the length of Ullswater to Pooley Bridge and back, to extend the thrilling emotion afloat. By using the bus you can enjoy both the picturesque scenery and an inspirational health-giving walk.
