Alongside the ever-popular and family-friendly activity of ghyll scrambling sits its bigger brother; Canyoning. This activity has been a big hit in many countries worldwide for decades and in recent years it has gained popularity here in the UK too. It requires a variety of skills that were originally developed in the disciplines of climbing and caving before it evolved into a distinct sport in its own right. Typically, canyoning involves descending steep watercourses and gorges, via abseiling, ziplines, and jumps, or a combination of all three! We are proud to offer bespoke trips Canyoning in the Lake District but be warned, they are not for the faint-hearted! Check out this Red Bull canyoning article for some inspiration.
Canyoning in the Lake District is priced per person and the final cost depends upon the venue used and the number of participants. Some of the more technical venues we use are only suitable for small groups. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements and we will give you a quote. Your booking will be treated as private unless you give us permission to open it up to the public as a scheduled activity.
