Greetings, all! I am the appointed planner for my book group's 2014 trip to England, and while planning and studying the transportation system, a question arose. We are spending a couple of days in London, then moving north to Haworth. We then would like to go to the Lake District for a couple of days. What would be the best way for us to get from Haworth to Ambleside, using public transportation? I realize renting a car would be ideal, but it is simply out of the question for us. I'm clear on the long-distance journeys (on which we'll use the train or coach), but I'm not certain about the Haworth-Ambleside trip. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
