Looking for your next Lake District adventure? ⛰️🥾

We’ve just added 8 walks to our website. From the gentle woodland walk up to Aira Force (starting from The Royal Hotel) to the dramatic ridges and unforgettable views of Helvellyn via Striding Edge, or taking in the beauty of the shores of Derwentwater; there's so much to see and do here.

Whether you fancy a relaxed wander followed by lunch and a pint, or a full day out on the fells, there’s something for everyone.

And naturally… The Royal makes the perfect starting point, finishing point or halfway stop 🍻😉
