The Lake District Walker

Whatever your ability we have a walk, challenge or activity that's fun, affordable and with something on our diary of events every day of the year it's always an adventure with the guides of The Lake District Walker.

COVID 19 UPDATE

The Lake District Walker is now open again for business, although we are currently running a more limited diary than usual.
Due to current staff levels and logistical issues we are not offering ghyll scrambling, we are hoping to get this back on the diary as soon as possible, hopefully by August.
Since the easing of lockdown we have been receiving unprecedented levels of enquiries and with lower staff levels than usual it is taking a little longer than normal to get back to everybody, please bear with us.

Embark on walking holidays in the Lake District

For some people, an ideal vacation is lying beside a pool of a 5-star all-inclusive hotel in an exotic location. Others prefer spending their holidays a little more actively – hiking and taking hill walks. If you are one of such people, you have come to the right place! We offer guided walking tours in the Lake District for every day of the year. Our diary is full of exciting activities and events to make sure you never fall short of things to explore. Whatever your age and physical ability are – you are in safe hands with The Lake District Walker!

We constantly come up with new events to make sure your every visit to the Lake District is like no other.

3 reasons to book one of the Lake District walking tours for your next vacation

The Lake District is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with incredible natural landscapes, crystal clear waters, and breathtaking views. Here is why a hill walk there is a great idea:

  • Physical exercise
  • You don’t need a fancy gym membership to stay fit. All you need is a pair of good boots! Walking is one of the best exercises that engages all muscle groups.

  • Digital detox
  • The Lake District walking tours allow you to unplug for a day and clear your mind of the informational junk. Reconnecting with nature boosts your brain activity and wards off stress.

  • Sense of achievement
  • Step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to take on a new height. Every next peak will give you a unique sense of accomplishment and pride.
