This is an excellent, varied tour in a stunningly beautiful area of northern England. Our hotel GlaraMara House was fantastic, with comfortable and spacious rooms, excellent, friendly staff, and fabulous food. Our guide Graham, and the other local guides were top notch. While a few of the days were more challenging to hike(Scafell Pike), we were offered alternate routes with a separate guide. Good weather helped, but the variety of walks, stunning beauty, and expert guidance made this trip memorable.Show more
