The benefits of guided Lake District walks

It enables you to truly make the most of exploring the surrounding scenery. Your guide will feed you interesting information about the local history and will bring the location and the experience to life – so you can just soak up the rolling Cumbrian countryside around you. You also have the ability to take to routes you may not feel comfortable exploring on your own. In fact, many visitors to the Lakes don’t walk further than 30-minutes from their car.

Walking without the worry

Of course, the Lake District for all its beauty can also be a dangerous place in the wrong conditions and a guided walk offers added safety and reassurance. Navigation is taken care of, so you know you’re not going to get lost and your guide will understand the local terrain and climate better than most – which is especially important if the route is of the more challenging variety.
