England's Lake District in $440s-$480s RT

William Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter, Taylor Swift… 

You wouldn't think it, but the founder of British romanticism, a Victorian author and a pop princess have more in common than you think. 

But alas, that's the magic of the Lake of Poets. It's velvety peaks and valleys are poetry in motion, leaving both backpacker and billionaire bewitched.

Sadly though, it usually costs a pretty penny to breathe the cool British air. And late summer flights? Forget it. 

Until now. 

Flying into Manchester, a quick train is the only thing separating you from storybook stone circles, glens, glaciers, and forests.

Better yet, why not take the scenic route?
