Known as the Big One, Esk Ghyll is an amazing gorge located deep in the Esk valley in northern England. And on this full day trip, we would like to take you to this amazing place, so you can enjoy its array of jumps, climbs and swimming opportunities.
Near the South Lakes, Esk Ghyll is very isolated. To get there, you must make your way through the hardknott pass. Afterwards, you must hike for nearly an hour. However, once you reach the gorge, you will be lucky enough to climb some beautiful waterfalls and enjoy some fantastic views.
After you have soaked in the spectacular scenery, the fun will begin. And when it comes to the fun you can have, you must start with the jumps. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but for those with past experience, the jumps are massive! Very high and wonderfully exciting, you will have the time of your life leaping to the water below.
While the Esk Ghyll has a wild aura about it, which definitely adds to the fun, you can be sure that we will ensure safety throughout the day. We will hike with you and guide you to the best, and most secure spots. Hence making sure you not only have a great, thrilling experience, but a safe one as well.
An absolute natural highlight in northern England, the Esk Ghyll gorge is a great place for those looking for a rush. To experience it for yourself, just send us a request. We’re happy to make the adventure a reality for you.
We can also take you canyoning on some amazing cliffs in South Wales as well.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
