Let’s explore the mountainscapes, glistening lakes, charming villages and tranquil valleys in of one of the most beautiful parts of England on this memorable hiking holiday in the Lake District. On this short break we’ll be perfectly based in the town of Penrith, a gateway to the best walking trails in the Lake District and the region's most spectacular scenery. Our first hiking excursion will take us along the Upper Barrowdale Valley, Castle Crag, Derwentwater and for those feeling more active you can trek to the top of Catbells. Then we'll see how the stunning landscapes greatly inspired the works of William Wordsworth with a hike from Grasmere, his former home. Our next activity will be to the historic Hadrian's Wall, a defensive fort built by the Romans in the 2nd century AD, explore the well-preserved remnants and take in the wonderful surrounding views. Our final hiking day will take us through the rugged terrain of North Skiddaw, where we'll see waterfalls as we trek up to Dash Falls. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Lake District and join us on this walking holiday in England.
Please note, the average daily walking distance on these moderate hikes is between 12km – 17km, with a maximum daily walking duration of 5.5 hours. See our Activity Level Guide for more information.
