Lake District
Holidays in the Lake District
The Lake District isn’t short on scenery, but knowing how to experience it makes all the difference.
We’ll take you beyond the famous views. The best way to tackle a fell walk without overdoing it, which Wainwrights offer the best Herdwick-dotted valley views, when to wander lakeside by Ullswater or Derwentwater, and why a slice of Grasmere gingerbread tastes even better after a good climb.
This is the Lakes the Active England way: energising, uplifting and efficiently organised. We’ll plan the routes, experiences, stays, luggage and support, so you can enjoy without worrying about what comes next.
Why choose Active England for the Lake District?
See it actively
The Lakes are made for movement - fell paths, lakeside trails and quiet lanes leading to some of the UK’s best (and hardest!) cycling climbs.
The fells made easy
The Lake District can feel wild and impenetrable, but your trip doesn’t need to feel that way.
Local expertise, not just local scenery
The Lakes don’t need help looking impressive. But the experience of our extraordinary local guides makes the difference to every trip.
Routes that match your pace
From gentle lakeside stretches to more challenging climbing, we design days that bring out the best of the Lakes without overloading the itinerary.
Everything sorted
Accommodation, luggage transfers, route planning, maps, GPS and support – all taken care of.
Travel your Way
Go guided, self-guided or private. Whether you want sociable group energy or a trip built around your nearest and dearest, we’ll make the Lakes work for you.
