Thoughtfully designed, meticulously planned, carefully graded, and expertly guided walking tours and hiking holidays along well-loved and off-the-beaten-track footpaths.
Begin the year in rejuvenating style with a seven-night New Year escape to the Lake District, based at the beautifully situated Hassness Country House overlooking Buttermere. Surrounded by dramatic fells, peaceful valleys and shimmering winter waters, this holiday offers the ideal blend of fresh air, gentle adventure and relaxed celebration.
Each day centres around expertly guided “Scenic Strides” walks, designed to showcase the very best of the area at an enjoyable and accessible pace. The itinerary includes a wonderful variety of routes, from the serene shores of Rannerdale and Buttermere to the diverse landscapes of Crummock Water and Loweswater, where farmland, woodland and the striking Scale Force waterfall combine. A journey into wild Ennerdale and towards Black Sail provides a more remote and rugged experience, while the ascent of Haystacks from Honister offers classic Lake District views and a rewarding sense of achievement. A circular walk around Loweswater completes the programme with gentler charm.
Winter adds a special quality to the landscapes: crisp air, soft light and quieter trails create a peaceful and immersive experience, perfect for reflection as one year ends and another begins.
Back at Hassness Country House, you’ll find a warm and welcoming retreat. Evenings are relaxed and sociable, with hearty meals, comfortable surroundings and the chance to unwind after a day on the fells. The highlight of the week is a special New Year celebration, where guests come together to mark the occasion in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.
This holiday strikes the perfect balance between activity and relaxation, making it ideal for those who enjoy walking but also value comfort and companionship. Whether travelling solo or with friends, you’ll find like-minded company and a shared appreciation for the outdoors.
With its combination of inspiring scenery, guided walking and a memorable New Year celebration, this Lake District break offers a refreshing and uplifting way to step into the year ahead.

This will give you an indication of the nature of the walking terrain and the format for your chosen holiday. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list and other walks are available depending on the local weather conditions at the time.
Grade 4 Walks
Rannerdale and Buttermere - no trip to the valley would be complete without a walk taking in a visit to the site of the fabled Battle of Rannerdale. We start at Lanthwaite, at the northern end of Crummock Water, and make our way down through Lanthwaite Wood to the lake. Heading south by the lakeside we cross over the road and enter lower Rannerdale, where bluebells grow in profusion in May. At all times of the year the hills are a patchwork of greens and browns with the grey of the rock and boulders and the white tumbling water of the Rannerdale Beck. Crossing the footbridge we make our way back to Crummock Water where the path rises over Hause Point then descends to pass through woodland and pastures at the end of the lake. The watering hole of Buttermere Village, with its pubs, tea room and ice cream shop soon comes into view. There is a short direct route back to Hassness from here but our more interesting route takes us anti clockwise round the lake on what Julia Bradbury’s 2018 Britain’s Favourite Walks poll was voted number 7 in the country. Reaching Gatesgarth at the southern end of the lake it is a short walk back to Hassness. Total distance covered: 8.4 miles (120m ascent).
Crummock Water and Loweswater Village - no trip to the valley would be complete without a visit to the little village of Loweswater. We start at Lanthwaite and make our way down to Crummock Water. Crossing its outflow, the River Cocker, we follow footpaths up to Loweswater Village and the famous Kirkstile Inn. We may take lunch here or in the quiet churchyard. After lunch we head back southwards along the western shore of Crummock Water. When we come to footbridges over Scale Beck, which flows down from Scale Force waterfall, the highest in the Lake District, it may be possible to walk up to inspect the Falls if time allows. The improving track then takes us to Scale Bridge and a lane leading back to Buttermere Village and Hassness. Total distance covered: 7.4 miles (70m ascent).
Haystacks from Honister - this walk takes us to the top of Haystacks, favourite fell of Alfred Wainwright, and the resting place for his ashes. Starting from Honister Pass we ascend the track of an old mining tramway to the Drumhouse, then follow the quaintly named Moses Trod, here part of the Coast to Coast long distance footpath, onto the side of Brandreth and Grey Knotts. We see Haystacks over to our right, and hopefully enjoy views over Buttermere and Crummock Water to the Solway Coast and beyond to Scotland. Turning down below Great Round How we pass the sheltered Blackbeck Tarn, and then Innominate Tarn where Wainwright's ashes are scattered. The summit of Haystacks (597m) soon follows where we can admire the views below. Retracing our steps past the tarns we cross Warnscale Beck and come to Dubs Hut, recently renovated with financial assistance from The Ramble Worldwide Outdoor Trust. After inspecting the Hut, we follow the Miners Road back down to Honister. Total distance covered: 5.5 miles (525m ascent).
Ennerdale and Black Sail - this walk starts at Honister and ascends the old Miners’ Tramway, following the Coast to Coast long distance footpath across Fleetwith and down Loft Beck into Ennerdale, a remote valley undergoing an extensive rewilding programme. At Black Sail Youth Hostel, the most remote in England, there is a chance for a break before climbing up to Scarth Gap, where views of Buttermere and Hassness Country House open up before us. The well made path down to the lake leads to Gatesgarth and Hassness Country House. Total distance covered: 5.8 miles (360m ascent).
Loweswater Circuit - we start at the north eastern end of Crummock Water and make our way down through Lanthwaite Wood to the Lake. Crossing the river we follow footpaths up to Loweswater Village and the famous Kirkstile Inn. We may take a break here or in the quiet churchyard. After lunch we head west to Maggie’s Bridge and the shores of Loweswater. After a stroll through the oak woods by the lakeside we rise through walled pastures to a scenic elevated return route along the Coffin Road back to Loweswater Village and Lanthwaite. Total distance covered: 10.1 miles (375m ascent).

Accommodation
Accommodation information
Below is the accommodation featured on this holiday across all departure dates. Please refer to the Itinerary for more detail about each night's accommodation for each departure date.
Hassness Country House
Hassness Country House, beautifully located in its own extensive grounds on the shores of Buttermere in the Western Lake District, provides a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere for each and every guest.
You can find sheep grazing and red squirrels scurrying around just outside the door. This is one of the remotest parts of the Lake District and has been recognised as offering some of Britain’s finest views.
Accommodation is in twins, doubles and single rooms, accommodating 19 people in total, with 7 out of 11 bedrooms having en-suite facilities. All bedrooms are lakeside with many overlooking the lake and the fells beyond. Some of the rooms have a garden view. All rooms are very comfortable, either with en-suite facilities or sharing high-powered shower rooms and toilets, which are located across the hall from the bedrooms. Tea and coffee making facilities are available in each room as well as locally sourced, natural and handmade bathroom toiletries. Towels are provided for each guest and hairdryers are also available in the bedrooms.
All of our bedrooms have stunning views; whether it be of the rugged and imposing hillsides across the water, garden views or views of the lake itself.
The lounge is a delightful place to relax, with a large picture window looking out across the lake. Comfortable and welcoming, it’s a great place to enjoy your own company or that of your fellow guests, to read a book or simply enjoy one of the most dramatic vantage points in the world. It’s also a perfect starting point for some truly remarkable days in the hills.
Hassness Country House offers a retreat from today’s always connected world. There's no TV, no phones in the bedrooms, and very little mobile reception in this sparsely populated valley of West Cumbria. If you do need to contact the outside world there is a payphone available and Wi-Fi is also available throughout the property (including the bedrooms). At Hassness Country House you’ll take a step back from the frantic world beyond the fells. It’s far enough away yet convenient for the main tourist hubs of Keswick; this is a quieter, less trodden part of the Lake District with dramatic and tranquil scenery. Our friendly managers will make you feel welcome.
Hassness Country House has a small licensed bar which offers a selection of red and white wines, beer and a small assortment of spirits at reasonable prices. You can walk the mile into Buttermere village (a tiny hamlet) for a drink or something to eat at one of the two pubs, but otherwise you can just get away from it all. The madding crowds don’t come anywhere nearby, and the surrounding hills are generally less well stomped than the more readily accessible peaks.

The Ramble Worldwide Outdoor Trust is passionate about making the outdoors more accessible for more people from all communities. We grant funds to many organisations and have recently partnered with Mind Over Mountains, Adaptive Grand Slam, and other groups to create an enduring impact on people’s lives and to support them to enjoy the outdoors. In addition, the Trust makes many small grants to local organisations such as Ramblers Groups, Walkers are Welcome, My kind of Books and recently provided a small grant, via his scouting group, to enable a young man whose family had fallen on hard times to complete his DofE Gold award.
Patron of the Trust is the renowned explorer, Mark Wood. Over 20 years Mark has undertaken expeditions to some of the most remote parts of our planet. Our shared values make for an exciting partnership, and we believe that by standing shoulder to shoulder we can encourage people from all communities to enjoy being active outdoors in whatever way suits them best.
