SKYWALKING
IN LAKE DISTRICT
Home to England's highest mountains and deepest lakes, voted one of the National Geographic's top ten "must-see" destinations in the world; Lake District is a landscape that leaves you on high.
With lake, mountains and the entrance the beautiful green valley on its doorstep, Keswick is a walker's paradise. So let's lace up a pair of hiking boots and come celebrate mountains for a weekend of fun, fresh air and freedom! We are happy to go and hope to see you there!

Traditional cuisine and local specialities
On the board of a fast train we cross Midlands and wonderful Yorkshire country and arrive to Lake District by midday. From the station a private minibus will take us to our hostel in Keswick.
With its fantastic setting Keswick is the favourite centre for Lakeland climbers and fell walkers. High peaks of Skiddaw and Blencanthra loom over the town. Derwent Water is among the most attractive of the lakes and is most easily seen by hopping on the Keswick Launch. The 4000 year old Stone Circle on the nearby airy hilltop of Castlerigg overlooks Keswick in its lovely valley setting. In the historic centre of the town you will find a charming mix of local speciality shops, cafés, pubs and great choice of outdoor gear shops.
Checked in the hostel and recharged with a lunch, we head around the shoreline of Derwent Water the Catbells , a renowned vantage-point above the lake. The panoramic views are fantastic. Over the summit we head further south down to the pretty Borrowdale Valley, passing its scattered hamlets and oak woodlands. After a short stop at Lodore Falls we take a ride on the open top bus. Back to Keswick you can explore one of the many eating places or cook together with your new mates in the hostel. Evening is all yours.
DIY breakfast and we set off for a full day hike onto Skiddaw . It's a challenging climb, on well maintain footpath, to 931 metres (3,054 ft), and it's truly worth it. Have your cameras ready.
Skiddaw dominates the town of Keswick and is one of the largest peaks in the Lake District. This mountain is one of the oldest formations in the Lake District (and indeed in Europe).The smooth summit offers great views across Skiddaw Forest to the Great Calva and Knott peaks.
After a great day out exploring, the proper dinner is a must. Why not to try famous Cumberland sausage  | |
