GHYLL SCRAMBLING
IN THE LAKE DISTRICT
Lake District Ghyll Scrambling
If there’s one thing we have plenty of in the Lake District, it’s water! And if there’s one thing we definitely can’t control (at least not yet), it’s the weather. That’s exactly why Ghyll Scrambling—also known as Gorge Walking—is the perfect adventure to add to your Lake District itinerary.
There are several exciting ghylls to explore here, each offering its own unique challenges and thrills. You might find yourself sliding down smooth rock chutes, leaping into crystal-clear plunge pools, or climbing up cascading waterfalls.
Ghyll Scrambling and Canyoning make for unforgettable stag or hen party activities. And if you’re craving even more adventure, why not combine your ghyll scramble with rock climbing or abseiling for the ultimate outdoor experience?
