Company information

Over 20 years of visiting Keswick it has become one of our favourite places in the world and we hope it will become one of yours. Holding our Mountain Leader qualifications and knowing the Lake District very well we can advise on walks for all abilities, should it be a flat river walk or the challenge of a mountain such as Skiddaw, we can suggest a fabulous route for you. If you don’t feel like walking, we can suggest local attractions that should not be missed on a stay in Keswick. Also, as keen road cyclists and mountain bikers we can offer advice on routes in the area. Secure cycle storage is available for a limited number of bikes by prior arrangement. We love eating in Kewsick at an amazing variety of restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes and requirements. We can certainly recommend the great places in town a couple of minutes walk away.
