It’s great to embrace the outdoors and find adventure in every corner of the UK, but the Lake District in particular has a lot to offer. Crags Adventures has activities suitable for everyone from the age of 12 and we work with small group sizes so that you get the most out of your experience.

The thrill-seekers among you may wish to try out Canyoning or Ghyll Scrambling, where you can explore waterfalls, emerald pools and enjoy cliff jumping! You could also get your pulse racing while staying firmly on dry land by trying our Scrambling Taster or Abseiling. However you choose to spend your time with us, we have plenty to get your adrenaline pumping!

After participating in one of Crags Adventures, you’ll be sure to want to relax in a self-catering cottage while visiting this beautiful area. A variety of Lake District cottages are on Sykes Holiday Cottages’ website, so there is something to suit the whole family.
