Delightful walk with National Park guides and volunteers. Weather changed frequently and sudden blue sky allowed amazing views. Personal highlight: Elf Howe and view to the Kent estuary. Natural beauty and industrial history of the Lakes.

Highly recommend this, it was a fantastic experience. The guided walks are free and led by lovely volunteers. We set off from Staveley (easily reached by park/train/bus) to walk in the Kentmere valley. Along the way we had short stops to get more information about the history of the valley and different landmarks and features. The volunteers kept the group in very good spirits and there was a lovely atmosphere. I really loved the walk and I would come to the Lakes again specifically to go on another one of these! It is a very safe and relaxing way to explore the Lakes.

A beautiful guided walk around the copper mines at Coniston. The weather on the day was really clear & views were amazing. A big thank you to the volunteer guides Sue & Mel, they were wonderful. They guided us on the walk and bought it to life, with interesting stories and knowledge from the area. Will be booking on the guided walks again.

We thoroughly enjoyed the guided walk at Coniston Coppermines. We had fabulous weather and amazing views, guided by Mel and Sue who enriched the walk with interesting local facts and tales from history. Our children particularly enjoyed the near death stories from the mines and our spaniel loved the walk too. All rounder a great day out, highly recommend and would definitely do it again. Thank you Mel and Sue.

We went on the Catbells walk which is quite long but not over strenuous with a bit of uphill walking but not too much. Lovely variety of scenery from lake shore and woodlands to fells with fantastic views. The guides really take care of you and give you lots of information along the way. Thoroughly recommend.

Great range of walks available. All the leaders are volunteers from the local area who receive thorough training to ensure they have the skills to keep everyone safe. Our leader Lindsay was very knowledgeable and an excellent story-teller. Lovely group who mingled nicely. The walk had some stunning views and a nice variety of terrain. Would highly recommend.

These guided walks are highly recommended. The guides are always friendly and knowledgeable and it's a great way of finding your way in areas of the fascinating Lake District. I have enjoyed every single walk and you are welcomed whether you're a solo walker or with friends. I've made good friends from going on these walks too. 🙂 The walks are free of charge which is amazing. You can make a donation to the National Park authority if you wish.

This was an excellent hike, easy path, and only one short, steep climb but simply take it slow and steady and it works out easily. After the climb, the views were fantastic of Windermere Lake and surrounding area. The National Park volunteer guides were excellent, very friendly, and informative.

Every park in the world should have walks like these. Guides and local participants shared their knowledge and love of the place they call home. Walking through country is also a lovely way to meet other solo travellers. Walk was a perfect length. Not too hard underfoot. Helped no doubt by glorious weather. I hope to return one day and do more of these walks. Thanks for a truly fabulous day!
