Guided Walking in the Lake District

Guided walks in the Lake District can be tailor made to suit your group.

Typically run in conjunction with 5 nights accommodation, guided walking holidays at the Three Shires Inn are inclusive of dinner, bed and breakfast and packed lunches. There will be a film show of local interest one evening. There will be 4 guided walks within the Langdale area and each day you will be accompanied by an experienced guide who will be able to pass on much information of local interest. As our Lakeland pub is situated in such a beautiful area with an infinite variety of walks virtually all walks start from the Three Shires.

Alternatively if you would like just one day on a more challenging walk than you may want to try on your own, then we can arrange for you to join a local guide who has an extensive variety of guided walks available each week. (www.mountainguides.co.uk)
