Description

Located in northwest England, the Lake District is the ideal playground for outdoor adventures for families. Scrambling, abseiling and rock climbing are some of the activities to discover and enjoy in a parent-child or family trip you’ll never forget!

There are 3 different day-trip options for you to choose from, depending on the type of outdoor adventure you are looking for, and the level of challenge you and your family are seeking.

The mountain activities that can be organized include abseiling, rock climbing, scrambling, and navigation. All of them are designed to entertain children and adults, and combined to build outdoor adventures for families to be remembered.

Discover the 3 options for day trips in the Lake District:

MINI MOUNTAINS

This itinerary is ideal for families and groups (up to 8 people), including kids aged 7+. It includes a full day of activities like climbing and abseiling and a treasure hunt. The treasure hunt is organized as an ‘escape room’ to entertain kids, and at the same time to learn navigation skills such as the use of a compass and a map.

MIGHTY MOUNTAINS

This option is slightly more challenging, including climbing, abseiling, and scrambling. It’s recommended for kids aged 11+, and for families and groups of up to 6 people.

MEGA MOUNTAINS

Are you looking for a true mountain challenge to face with your child? Then this is the option for you. The Mega Mountains itinerary is a full day in the hills for 2 people only (for kids aged 11+), scrambling on Grade 2 or 3 routes.

The activity starts meeting the guide at 9.30 for the 3 options and ends at 4.30 PM. On the first 2 (Mini and Mighty) you’ll do an activity in the morning, then have a lunch break at the meeting point, and finalize with another activity in the afternoon. On the Mega Mountains itinerary, you’ll be on the hills for the whole day.

Contact me if you are interested in doing any of these Outdoor Activities for Families in the Lake District, and I’ll be happy to organize it. Both you and your kids will bring back memories for a lifetime!

About the guide

Ben

Mountain Leader

I am a fully-qualified Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor and full member of AMI, as well as a Summer, Winter and International Mountain Leader, with over 25 years experience of working in the outdoor industry. I will be your guide or instructor.

I fell in love with the mountains of the Lake District at first sight and I am happy to say the Lake District has now been my office and my home for more than 15 years. I can't imagine living anywhere else.

I have walked up every mountain in England and Wales and am well into my Munro list. I have rock climbed widely across Europe and on three other continents. I love the snowy mountains and nice warm rock, and am a regular at the local climbing wall. I'm glad to say my family enjoy the mountains just as much.

I hope that I can impart a little of my passion for the outdoors on my days with you. See you in the mountains!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

Maxine

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
