Beauty you can see. Peace you can feel. God you can meet.

Fell hikes and gentle rambles. Bible teaching. Just 24 spaces.

Whether you long to scale classic Lakeland summits or stroll quiet trails, there’s space for you here. Each walk is guided, rooted in fellowship, and surrounded by the beauty of God’s creation.

Come and walk in one of the most beautiful places on earth. With shimmering lakes, craggy peaks, and sweeping valleys, Lakeland stirs the soul. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site for good reason – and it’s right on our doorstep.

From scenic South Lakes rambles to high fell hikes, this four-day walking holiday offers a rare mix: meaningful connection, shared adventure, and spiritual refreshment.

Each day, set out with a guide on a new walk. Return each evening to good food, warm company, deep Bible teaching, and time to reflect on God’s presence in creation.

This walking retreat is an addition during Spring Bible School, a time when people and families gather for worship, rest, and teaching. While they enjoy a holiday on site, you’ll explore the fells and trails. You’ll share the same meals, evening sessions, and sense of community – just with boots on.

Highlights

  • Faith at the centre: Morning Bible teaching and evening sessions for everyone
  • Simple joys: Packed lunches and plenty of time in nature
  • All-inclusive: Shared accommodation, food, and transport to the walk start points
  • Small groups: Just 20 spaces. Book early to avoid missing out
