Red Deer Rutting 2 Days - Ullswater
Not to be missed! The Famous Autumn Red Deer Rut in the Ullswater and Martindale area of the Lake District is a hidden gem as the bellowing of stags echoes around Martindale and Boredale. We listen and watch and immerse ourselves in these autumn sounds. We can experience this truly magical connection to nature as the autumn weather adorns us, if clouds are low, or indeed rising and falling, we still hear the Stags during this time..
From £120 per hiker - 2 day break
from £65 per hiker for individual deer rutting days
NOTE: Steamer fairs and lunch/snacks are NOT included in these charges
