Itinerary Highlights 

This holiday offers the very best selection of Lake District walks. There is the choice of up to three different guided walks each day.


Easier Walks: A good network of lakeside and valley paths means that the full beauty of the Lake District can be enjoyed without ascending the high fells. Walks could include following the delightful lakeside paths that surround Derwent Water, Buttermere and Crummock Water; the wooded lower reaches of Borrowdale to the charming villages of Rosthwaite and Seatoller, or to the mysterious Castlerigg stone circle.

Medium Walks: By venturing onto the lower fells you can enjoy stunning bird’s eye views over the lakes and valleys below. Walks could include the ever-popular summit of Cat Bells, with its views over Derwent Water, an ascent from Buttermere onto the shapely mountain of Haystacks, or along the panoramic terrace path from Walla Crag to Ashness Bridge. 

Harder Walks: For the keen mountain walker there are numerous exhilarating high-level traverses and summits that can be ascended. Grisedale Pike, Skiddaw, Great Gable, Scafell Pike and Helvellyn via Striding Edge are just some of the famous Lake District peaks which can be scaled on a holiday full of panoramic views and huge rewards.

This holiday, which is operated in association with Holiday Fellowship, can be combined with any of our other UK itineraries and / or linked to a city break in London or Edinburgh. The nearest airport entry point is Manchester.
