GUIDED HIKING

The Lake District National Park offers some of the best hiking in the world, with scenery that has inspired some of the greatest artists and poets.  It also offers wild, and remote landscapes, and a myriad of paths and trails.  This can be a little daunting to the unseasoned adventurer, so why not take the pressure off and hire a guide to lead you on your journey?  Then, all you need to do, is take in the wonderful views without having  your head stuck in a map!

Vicki and Louie's Guided Walks can help you tackle some of the big mountains, lead you on paths less travelled or even just guide you on some low-level valley walks, depending on your experience and fitness.

Prices start from £180 per day
