Reviews
“I can no longer get up onto the higher Fells, so it was nice to see if they had changed since I was last there. Brought back some nice memories, thank you.”
“It felt like I was there, it was very pretty being on top of the mountain and felt immersive.”
“It was truly brilliant as someone who feels confined and cannot fully explore the lake district due to medical issues this felt like finally being included in a walk thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“We loved how interactive it is. Good fun for all the family (4-42!)”
