Guided Hill Walks in the Lake
District, Snowdonia,
Yorkshire Dales and Scotland
What’s included in your
guided walk?
Let us know the date
and time of the walk you have in mind, the number in your
group,their walking experience and interests, the hill or mountain
area you want to walk and perhaps the route you want to take. We
will then discuss a number of itineraries and routes designed
to ensure that you get the most out of your day in the hills.There
will be ample time on the walk to explore places of interest, learn
more about the local landscape and experience hill walking in safety
and comfort.
After agreeing the programme for the day,
including a meeting time and place for the start of the walk, we
send you a copy of the itinerary and a list of recommended equipment
and refreshments to bring with you. This leaves you free to
organise your own transport and accomodation. If you need
asistance with these or anything else, please ask at the time
of booking. For further information contact us or go to the Prices and Conditions
page.
Where would you like to
walk?
Our guided walking holidays concentrate on
some of the best hiking and walking areas of Great Britain - the
breathtaking scenery of the lakes and fells of Cumbria, the wild and
rugged mountains of North Wales and Scotland and the rolling hills
and dales of North Yorkshire. Each has a unique charm and walking
experience. Our brief descriptions may help you
choose. If you prefer to walk in any other upland area please
contact us - we have experience and
knowledge of most of these.
The English Lake
District
The Lake District is
England’s largest National Park, an exciting mix of mountain and
lake scenery. Many people come just for the picture-postcard views,
which are a combination of nature and the hand of man over four
millennia. For hill walkers it is a paradise offering some of
the most scenic walking in Britain. Classic mountain
routes include Scafell Pike, Hellvellyn via the ridge routes of
Striding and Swirrell Edges, Blencathra, the Langdale Pikes and the
Coniston fells. Gentler walks include Catbells and the
Ullswater lakeside path
Snowdonia and North
Wales
The Snowdonia National Park is
second only in size to the Lake District. It’s a land of
dramatic high peaks and plunging valleys, with rocky mountains,
glacial lakes and waterfalls. It is noted for its peace,
solitude and wild areas all set within a distinctive Welsh
culture. Classic mountain routes include the Snowdon
Horseshoe, or Tryfan and the Glyders, as well as some of the
quieter, less walked areas such as the Moelwyn and Berwen Hills.
The Yorkshire
Dales
The Yorkshire Dales may lack
the drama of the Lake District, but can match it for beauty and
charm. The distinctive limestone landscape offers the space to
relax and enjoy the hills and dales scenery, villages and
traditional way of life.
Classic routes and hills include the
Three Peaks of Ingleborough, Pen y Ghent and Whernside, and gentler
walking in Malhamdale and Wharfdale.
Scotland
The
Highlands of Scotland
are on a much grander scale. The mountains are higher, the
glens deeper and the mountain walking more adventurous and
challenging. Much of the walking is on wilder. less trod
paths. Classic mountain routes include Ben Nevis, the highest
mountain in Britain, and mountain ranges of Glencoe and the North
West. (Please note that because of the greater travel
distances involved in the Highlands, we can only accept bookings for
a minimum of 2 days)
