Outdoor Activities

The Lake District, Cumbria is England’s adventure capital. Which should give you an idea as to the broad range of activities you can enjoy (or endure) in this most dramatic, beautiful landscape. Whatever your appetite, we can satisfy it, whether it’s an easy amble or a round of golf, or something a little more energetic - tackling a via ferrata, scrambling up a hill, racing across a lake...that kind of thing. The list of activities is (almost) endless: just take a look for yourself.
