Lake District Guided Walks

The spectacular mountains (fells) are, undoubtedly, one of the Lake District’s biggest attractions, affording great views from their summits and offering a mixture of challenges from a gentle stroll to rock scrambling. Enjoy our Lake District guided walks, where a British Mountaineering Council Mountain Leader will safely guide you up some of our most enjoyable fells.

At Armathwaite Hall, we have picked out some of our favourite fell walks, including those away from the main tourist hubs that tend to be popular with the local residents. Some are easy, some are a challenge, and whilst many are suitable for beginners, all require a good level of fitness. Take a look at our favourites. If you would like to try an alternative, please let us know at the time of booking. We also offer a Via Ferrata & Mine Tour experience that combines more challenging routes known as ‘The Iron Way’.

If you enjoy your walk, why not capture it in style and learn to become a better photographer with our photography experience.
