A Day Out in the Lake District

After the students' first week in lessons they had the chance to take a trip to one of England's most revered beauty spots with Foundation on Campus.  The Lake District is an area of natural beauty famous for it's lakes, forests and mountains and is only an hours drive north of Preston. 

Students spent the day around Lake Windermere, enjoying the local town, food and views.  They took a boat trip and had the option to visit the Beatrix Potter museum or take a trip to the Lakes Aquarium. 



Take a look at this video clip filmed by Talal Jallaf, one of our aspiring Physiotherapy students;

 
Here's what he had to say about the day; "We stepped off the bus and arrived to a magical place.  Most of us had never experienced anything like this before, such a beautiful place.  The glistening clear blue lake, trees so green spreading beyond the horizon, shiny polished boats and local wildlife.  We stepped on a boat to take us on a voyage around the lake, greeted with a smile and a warm welcome we took our seats and began our journey.  It was just brilliant.  It took us all by surprise to hear that Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh had been on the same boat, we suddenly all felt like royalty.

Our journey home was a disappointing one, we didn't want to leave our new heaven.  Fresh air, fresh food and friendly people.  It was a trip like no other."
