Located in North Western England is the scenic Lake District. Tranquil, tree-fringed lakes lie beneath dramatic hills. Charming villages nestle in the valleys. This is Wordsworth country and one can almost picture the poet wandering among daffodils. When you are not walking there are many sites to visit such as Muncaster Castle or Townend, a yeoman farmer’s dwelling which brings wonderful insight into three centuries of English life. There is no better way to explore than on foot. The Lake District offers easier walking in the beautiful valleys or challenging walking in the high fells. Three different guides walks are offered each day. You choose according to your fitness and ability.

A choice of three guided walks is offered each day. 

  • Easier walks:      6 – 9 miles with easy gradients.                               600 – 1125 ft of ascent.
    On these walks you’ll usually be out for most of the day, walking at a relaxed pace or spending time at places of interest along the route. Walking experience isn’t necessary as distances are quite short and paths and gradients generally easy.
  • Medium walks:  6.5 – 9.5 miles up the lower summits                          900 – 2400 ft of ascent.
    Walks follow good paths and tracks but are generally longer. Walking experience isn’t necessary but some walks, particularly in mountain areas, may have sections over rough or steeper terrain
  •  
  • Harder walks      9 – 12 miles - exposed ridges & steep gradients.    2450 – 3600 ft of ascent.
    Walks follow well-defined paths, however these may be rough or steep in sections, and will require a reasonable level of fitness. You will be walking in hilly or mountainous areas.
