Guided Walking Holidays and Short Breaks in the Lake District

From a comfortable and homely base on the edge of the Lake District our fully catered guided walking holidays and short breaks are 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. During these walks we will follow less frequented routes, visit 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 wonderful mountain scenery with your qualified Mountain Leader.
