Catbells Lakeland Walk

Reviewed By gburge - Basingstoke, United Kingdom

Who doesn’t visit Cat Bells when visiting Keswick or its surrounding villages. I lovely climb with a lovely view from Newlands or ascend via Little Town to Hause Gate and also visit Maiden Moor or even do a ridge route horse show and descend via Robinson’s for the more experienced walker.

Derwentwater

Reviewed By carljones1 - Preston, United Kingdom

One of my favourite lakes Just walk down a short way to friars crag for one of the best views The sight is like a panoramic view with mountains lake shapes and valleys see the island opposite and fills the senses with peace and beauty. Perfect when no one else is around though it is very popular. For even better treat visit in spring may time when sun is going down and the bottom of the lake is lit up with shades and colours reflecting in the water one of the most memorable sights you can see. Just pergect

Go Ape Whinlatter

Highest Go Ape in the country plus NEW Forest Segways It's so high you can see all the way to Scotland. Enjoy a Tree Top Adventure with us in our beautiful forest, riding zip slides through skies, over water and in England's only true mountain forest. We're sure you'll love the spectacular views of the Lake District. Swinging through the canopy, wiping out at the bottom of zip wires and going on an adventure brings people together like nothing else we've ever seen. It really does. We'll brief you for safety before you fly down our zip-wires, leap off our Tarzan Swing and tackle our crossings whilst enjoying some of Britain's most breathtaking scenery. And you can get off road and enjoy our epic forest adventure with Go Ape Forest Segway - an awesome segway experience in the Lakes with a down to earth twist. A great idea for a day out in the North Lakes (and home to Bassenthwaite ospreys), this is Go Ape at its most untamed.

Thank you for an experience from the past. A lovely old fashioned single screen cinema. Very friendly with complimentary tea and coffee before the film. Excellent value compared to some of the modern multi screen cinemas these days. Always love going to the Alhambra.

Great day canoeing and ghyll scrambling with Jack. Had a full tour of Derwent water in the morning, great views and visited a few of the islands. Ghyll scrambling in the afternoon was great fun. Jack explained everything really well and made sure everyone felt safe and had a lot of fun.
