Walk Information Planned Group Guided Walks A number of circular guided walks open to everyone are scheduled each year. For more information please have a look at the list of dates for these walks. Private Guided 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. For parties of up to four, we can pick up and drop off at your hotel/guest house/home if it is on the way to the start of a route, or within 5 miles from Windermere. Larger groups will need to share or organize transport. 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.

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. Treasure Hunts Why not try something different. Our Treasure Hunts are an entertaining way to find out a bit more about The Lake District. They can be either town trails around one of the Lake District villages or towns, or a low level walk through the Lake District countryside. For more infomation click here. 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).
