Red Deer hikes
Tailored day from £150
Had a two-day group guided deer rutting experience which was well organised. Ferry crossing, packed breakfast or lunch and experienced guide who knew where to take us for the best chance of seeing and hearing the deer. Great value for a lifetime memory. Would recommend!

Expertly guided and tailored for you
Red Deer Walks
Observe the famous Martindale red deer rutting season. The bellows of the red deer stags echo around the valleys to the east of Ullswater: Boredale, Martindale, Bannerdale and Fusedale. They are in full voice at dawn and dusk, which is the best time to witness this remarkable display. The stags can be heard and seen from early October to mid-November.
The Langdale Pikes
Heading up Mickleden, ascending Stake Pass to reach Pike of Stickle and then Harrison Stickle – the iconic Langdale Pikes are seen from across the South Lakes.
Helvellyn via Swirral Edge – a Taste of the Edges
Helvellyn, ascending via Swirral – the easiest of the two edges. England's third-highest mountain gives 360° panoramic views on a clear day.
Scafell Pike
A fantastic 'tour de force' over England's highest summit: Scafell Pike via Styhead Tarn and the Corridor Route, returning via Esk Hause (other routes available depending on group needs).
Angle Tarn Pikes Half-Day Hike
For a 360° panoramic view of the Lake District mountains, this is the ideal quick ascent and descent to complete on a half-day hike from Patterdale and reach a summit.
High Street & Kidsty Pike
Head up onto the High Street Roman Road for glorious views down into Haweswater, with glimpses of red deer below in the valley of Riggindale. Bag three Wainwrights in one day!
