The main north, south ridge of Helvellyn stretches from Threlkeld in the North to Ambleside in the South. This magnificent ridge crosses the centre of the Lake District.
This is a long demanding walk which in turn is rewarding in terms of challenging your skills with some serious ascents and super views in all directions out across Lakeland.
Let our professionally qualified mountain leaders take the strain and give you a great day out in the fells.
