The Lake District is known for its spectacular scenery and dramatic cliffs—but as a visitor, it can be tricky to know the safest places to go rock climbing. Avoid the research time, and go on a rock climbing adventure with a qualified instructor instead. All equipment and climbing shoes are provided, as well as plenty of top tips on fundamental climbing techniques. Learn how to attach yourself to the climbing rope, how to belay, and possibly abseil too.

Located in the historic Honister Slate Mine, on this tour you will see the fells of the Lake District from a totally unique angle—more than 2000 ft. high. Climb up the side of Fleetwith Pike using the Via Ferrata and follow your guide to the top for a view of the North Lakes you won’t forget. Walk through the mine’s tunnel system to reach the Via Ferrata, and learn about the mine as you head out on your adventure, if you like.
