These walks will be led by professional and knowledgeable walking guides.

All walks are weather dependent and own transport may be taken to the walk starts.
Travel & Stay
Glaramara is an outdoor centre purpose built for walkers at the foot of the Borrowdale Valley in the heart of the beautiful Lake District National Park. The centre boasts an unrivalled aspect located in a commanding position in the beautiful vale of Borrowdale. This centre has continued to improve its accommodation and for this weekend we are using a mixture of ensuite rooms. All rooms have complimentary tea/coffee facilities There is a well-stocked bar and comfortable lounges, so you can relax in the evenings. Then, should you have any excess energy, there is a cosy bar, or three excellent country pubs within walking distance for an evening drink!
By Road: Make your way to Junction 40 on the M6 (faster than travelling through the Lakes via Windermere/Ambleside). Depart M6 J40 on the A66 (West) for 14.9 miles towards Keswick. At the first signpost for Keswick, turn left and travel down the hill for 0.5 miles to a T junction. Here, turn right and follow the road down the hill and through Keswick to a mini-roundabout. Here, turn left signposted Borrowdale B5289. Follow signs for the B5289 Borrowdale for approximately 7.5 miles towards Seatoller via Rosthwaite. Approximately 150 yards before Seatoller, the Glaramara Centre is set back from the road on the right hand side and is the big Swiss looking property. If you reach the Yew Tree Inn and/or start to go steeply uphill, you’ve gone too far!
By Train or Bus: The nearest main station to reach would be Penrith, and then buses can be caught to Keswick and down Borrowdale - however, these become less frequent in the evenings!
