Activity Holidays and Short Breaks
Mountain Photography Workshops and Walks, Guided and Self-guided Walking Holidays and Short Breaks in the Lake District
From our comfortable base in Natland near Kendal we provide fully catered activity holidays and short breaks in the beautiful English Lake District and, if desired, the equally stunning but less frequently visited surrounding area. Our carefully considered activity holidays and short breaks are designed with walkers and photographers in mind and we are happy to work with you to provide a bespoke escape. Our activity holidays and short breaks include:
- Mountain Photography Workshops and Guided Photography Walking Holidays and Short Breaks
- Guided Walking Holidays and Short Breaks
- Self Guided Walking Holidays and Short Breaks
- Experiences and Events
I also provide adventurous photography workshops and expeditions to more remote, wild and beautiful mountain landscapes. These trips usually involve trekking, camping and an opportunity to discover and photograph exciting new places. Due to the Coronavirus we have now cancelled our current programmes of adventurous photography workshops and expeditions but look forward to re-introducing these in the near future. Please visit again to find out more.

Overnight trips may include wild camping, mountain huts, hostels and small characterful hotels. Your mountain photography holiday will be led by Lathan who is a fully qualified Mountain Leader.

Guided Walking Holidays and Short Breaks in the Lake District
From our comfortable and homely base on the edge of the Lake District our fully catered guided walking holidays and short breaks can be tailored to you and your wishes. Do you have have a summit you have always wanted to reach, a route you would like to walk or a new area you would like to discover? Just let us know and we will help you achieve your dream. Alternatively, you can book your guided walking holiday or short break and allow us to look after the itinerary. Many of these walks will follow less frequented routes, visits off the beaten track locations and include many of our favourite walks and places. We will, of course, agree the walk, its length and its difficulty with you each day so you can just relax and enjoy the mountains with your qualified Mountain Leader.

Self-guided Walking Holidays and Short Breaks in the Lake District
Our single centre self-guided walking holidays allow you to explore the beautiful Lake District in your own time and at your own pace. We can provide you with a graded walking itinerary (itineraries are graded easy, classic and strenuous), or help you to select the walks best suited to your interests, fitness and the weather conditions. Our self-guided walking holidays can start on a day of your choice and last from 2 to 10 nights. It is up to you how many walks you undertake and when to include your rest days. Transport to the start and from the finish of the walk is included, taking away the hassle and worry of parking and allowing you to consider both circular routes and walks that start and finish in different locations.
Single centre self-guided walking holidays are perfect for both a one-off visit or for those who would like to walk in the Lake District again and again.
