Lake District & Northumberland Walking Tours

Explore our Lake District Walking Holidays

Discover the history and heritage of the north of England, exploring iconic coastlines, wild moors and rugged fells.

Venture into the Lake District, climbing from the high fells – including Scafell Pike and Helvellyn – through to some of the smaller but nonetheless spectacular peaks, such as Catbells. Tick off a few Wainwrights and rest your legs by the still waters of Buttermere or Windermere.

Alternatively, stroll along Hadrian’s Wall, visit the ancient castles of Bamburgh, Lindisfarne and Alnwick, tread upon Roman roads and walk in the footsteps of Vikings in Northumberland.

Leading the way, our expert guides have the local knowledge to tailor each day’s routes to the group’s wants and needs. We know the best walking routesand where to enjoy the best views. But perhaps most importantly, we know which pubs the locals recommend at the end of each walk!

What people are saying

The North FAQs

Where is the Lake District?

The Lake District is in the North West of England, with rugged mountains (fells), dramatic lakes (meres) and deep valleys formed by Ice Age glaciers. It contains England’s highest mountain, and deepest lake, and is both a National Park and a World Heritage Site, in recognition of its natural wild beauty and cultural significance, having inspired generations of poets, writers and artists.

Where is Northumberland?

Northumberland is a county in North East England, and lies on the England-Scotland border. It is home to one of the most picturesque and untouched stretches of coastline in the United Kingdom along with rolling hills and gentle mountains.

What is the best way to get to the North?

The best way to travel up North is by train, approximately a 4-hour direct journey from London Paddington to The Lake District (Penrith) and London to Northumberland (Newcastle Train Station).

All of our self-guided trips begin from the Lake District. We can also arrange pre and post accommodation at a range of different locations so you can arrive relaxed, refreshed and ready to start your tour. You can also fly into Manchester and transfer to the start of the tour from there.

Alternatively we can arrange a private transfer for you from London – the drive is approximately 5 hours.

How hilly is the North?

The North of England is hillier than many of the other regions of England. However the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales have a variety of routes which makes the regions great walking country and suitable for those who are moderately fit and active. There are many hills, fells and moors but the incredible views from the top more than make up from the ascents! However, you will be able to miss out some of the steeper inclines – or add in some hillier walks for those looking to stretch their legs. There are routes for everyone and we can tailor your tour to your specific preferences.
