Planned Guided Walks
A number of circular guided walks are planned each year. Please
see list of dates. To secure a place
on a walk please book in advance. Please see booking conditions
and ensure you check out the recommended equipment.
Tailored Walks
These guided walks are ideal for those who wish to visit parts
of the Lake District that are less well known, but have a charm
of their own. Also, they are suitable for those who do not like
larger groups, and anyone who might be concerned about holding back
a group.
Walks can be organised for individuals, couples, families and other
groups at any time of the year.
If there is somewhere special you would like to go, or something
special you would like to see or do, please contact
us with your request.
Walking Holidays
We can arrange a walking itinerary, and recommend accommodation
in Windermere for anyone who would like a walking holiday, short
break or weekend in the Lake District.
Self-guided Walks
For anyone who would prefer to walk independently we can plan a flexible walking
itinerary which allows you to discover the Lake District at your own pace. A detailed
description of the routes will be provided together with any required maps.
General information
The terrain in the Lake District is generally tougher than in many
parts of the country, and some footpaths can be steep and rocky.
Grading of walks can give some indication of the degree of difficulty,
but some people may find even the easy walks are too much. After
rain some footpaths will become waterlogged, and on steeper ground
paths can be quite slippery, so more care is required. If unsure
about whether a walk would be suitable on a particular day, please
contact us.
Grading of walks
Easy - generally good paths, no steep climbs or descents. Possibly
some stiles. Not remote.
Moderate - mainly reasonable paths, but some on steeper ground.
Possible small streams to cross. No summits climbed above 2,000
feet (615 metres).
Strenuous - mainly on paths, but some may be steep, rough or stony.
Could climb to summits above 2,000 feet (615 metres).
