About

Coniston (Age 5+)

Fun for the whole family!
This aquatic ghyll scramble is situated in a beautiful canyon only a short walk from Coniston. 

In its tree-covered steep gorge walls, you will plunge into crystal clear pools and scramble your way up rocky waterfalls. This ghyll has it all!! Deep pools, jumps, scrambles, climbs and slides. Our expert guides know the ghylls intimately and will tailor the day to your group offering up loads of fun challenges along the way. All the challenges, jumps, pools and climbs are optional.

This is the ultimate family adventure that will entertain the whole family!

Put on one of our high-quality warm wetsuits which are always clean, dry and well-fitted and let us guide you through this hidden gem. We provide all the necessary safety equipment and instruction so all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the adventure! 

We take photos and send them to you FREE at the end so you will have memories you'll remember forever.

Age 5 upwards. An average level of fitness is required for this activity.
Duration: 3hrs
VIDEO here- Check out our video of Church Beck Ghyll Scramble!

Before commencing the activity you must contact us with your sizes so we can bring the correct selection of wetsuits.

Please provide us with the following: 
• Weight 
• Height 
• T-shirt or Dress size 
• For children under 12 just what clothes size they normally wear.
• Shoe size for the wetsuit socks (these go inside your shoes)

What to bring: 
• A pair of sturdy trainers or walking boots to go into the ghyll with. These need to be able to lace up tight so that they stay on in the moving water. Please note crocs, lightweight water shoes or sandals are not appropriate.
• Swimming costume or shorts for under the wetsuit. ESSENTIAL - Lightweight Jogging bottoms or leggings (not shorts) to go over the wetsuit (to protect the legs of the suit). We have spares if you need them.
• Towel.
• Medication.
• Parking money or you can use the Ringo App.

Please note, you will need to leave all valuables behind during your session and remove any jewellery, especially rings.

We will meet you in the car park where you will change into wetsuits. It is a short 6-7 minute walk from there to the start of the Ghyll. 

Spectators - can see the first quarter of the ghyll at which point the path ends and the ghyll is inaccessible as it goes into a canyon. There are loads of walks nearby and cafes in Coniston village which is a short walk away. Please note this is not a dog-friendly activity but there are plenty of walks nearby for spectators to take their furry friends.

Situated in the heart of The Lake District National Park is Stickle Ghyll. A truly unique ghyll that winds its way up the mountainside towards Stickle Tarn, which is nestled between the magnificent Langdale Pikes.

Our expert guides know the ghylls intimately and will tailor the day to your group offering up loads of fun challenges along the way. All the challenges, pools and climbs are optional. 

The start is next to the car park and it is accessible with a public footpath running up the entire length. Perfect if you have party members that wish to spectate, but don't want to get their feet wet.
