Escape to the Hills

Walking Retreat – Lake District 2026

Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in three restorative days nestled in a quiet corner of the Lake District.

This intimate walking retreat (limited to 6–8 women) blends breathtaking fell walks, luxury accommodation, and the calming practice of mindfulness in nature. Together, we’ll explore some of the Lake District's best fell walks, pause to reconnect with ourselves, and share meaningful conversation in a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space.

Your Setting

We’ll be based just a stone’s throw from Ullswater, staying in a beautiful luxury farmhouse tucked into a peaceful corner of the Lakes. With sweeping valley views and walking routes directly from the doorstep, it’s the perfect base for rest, reflection, and adventure.

You’ll have the entire property exclusively for our group.

• Private king-size bedroom for every guest

• All rooms with private or en-suite bathrooms

One twin room available to share at a reduced rate (subject to availability)

What’s Included

Your retreat includes:

• 3 nights’ luxury accommodation

• 2 guided hill walks

• 1 lakeside walk

• Mindfulness in nature sessions

• Optional relaxation and meditation practices

• 3 continental breakfasts

• 2 packed lunches

• 2 pre-booked evening meals (with menu choice and dietary requirements catered for)

Every element is designed to balance gentle challenge with deep restoration — combining movement, nature, comfort, and connection.

A Space to Breathe

This retreat offers more than beautiful scenery. It’s an opportunity to slow down, reset, and be fully yourself — held within a small, welcoming circle of women. Whether you come for the walking, the mindfulness, the conversation, or simply the space, you’ll leave feeling grounded, nourished, and inspired.

Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’d like to reserve your place, please get in touch as soon as possible.

Full Terms & Conditions are available on request.

I’d love you to join us!
