  • Guided slow paced winter walks

Discover the quiet beauty of the Lake District in winter as we explore its serene valleys and mirror-still lakes. With an expert leader guiding a selection of slow paced walks, you’ll enjoy awe‑inspiring views and the peaceful charm of this UNESCO World Heritage landscape.

After a fresh morning walk on day 2, settle in by the warmth of the house and immerse yourself in a festive craft workshop. Using natural foliage from the area, you’ll create your own Christmas wreath—an unforgettable keepsake of your stay. 

After the workshop enjoy a festive visit to Taste Cumbria Christmas in Cockermouth, a charming Christmas food festival that brings together the very best of Cumbrian food, drink and seasonal produce. Browse traditional market stalls filled with artisan treats, local gifts and festive specialities, while enjoying live music, cookery demonstrations and a wonderful Christmas atmosphere in the heart of this historic market town

You'll round off the holiday with a visit to the striking Lowther Castle, its dramatic ruins and beautiful gardens transformed by seasonal decorations.
