About

Be immersed in the natural beauty of the private Graythwaite Estate on the shores of Windermere as you learn the ancient skills of bushcraft and outdoor survival. Having spent a lifetime learning bushcraft we love the opportunity to pass this knowledge on to groups and individuals whilst sharing stories and experiences of our expeditions across the globe.

During the day you’ll learn the essential elements of survival including fire lighting, knife skills, shelter building, foraging, water preparation, natural cordage and wild food cooking. The bushcraft experience is an amazing opportunity to detox from your digital lifestyle, slow down, learn new skills and enjoy being at one with your surroundings.

• Exclusive access to a family-owned estate on the shores of Lake Windermere
• Leave technology behind and immerse yourself in the environment of a World Heritage Site
• Get back to nature and learn survival skills used by ancient civilisations

 

Itinerary

Upon arrival at our 4x4 and Shooting Lodge, please make use of our free parking before meeting one of our team of experienced and friendly instructors. Following introductions, you'll make your way to our bushcraft site in the heart of Graythwaite Estate's ancient woodland. You'll experience all the bushcraft elements mentioned in the description although the exact itinerary will be tailored to suit the group, time of year and the weather on the day.

National Park Experiences is a curated collection that brings the stories of our National Parks to life. Each experience offers an authentic insight into the landscape and special qualities of a National Park.
