  • Eastern Fells, Ullswater/Martindale

    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!
