Argo cats, quad treks, pony trekking, falconry and clay shooting on the fellside — activities that don't care what the weather's doing, built around whoever's actually in the group.
A working farm activity centre a few miles from Ullswater runs most of what's on this page — quad biking, off-roading, horse riding, archery and clay pigeon shooting, all used to mixed ages and abilities turning up in one booking.
A couple of the valley's more unusual specialists sit here too — falconry and alpaca trekking are both genuinely on offer nearby, and worth considering for a group that's done the obvious things already. Planning for a mixed-age crowd? See how this fits into a multi-generational week.
Reliable in any weather, and good for groups that want to try something different together.
Escorted treks across working farmland, with argo cat rides for those who'd rather not drive themselves.
Quad trek & clays — a 40-minute escorted ride followed by 25 clays with an instructor.
Lessons and fellside treks for all abilities, from first-timers to confident riders.
Family pony trek — a mixed-age lesson on the fellside, led by the yard's own instructors.
Indoor and outdoor sessions, GNAS-qualified tuition, suitable from complete beginners upward.
Archery hour — a relaxed introduction, good as a standalone or paired with another activity.
A hands-on introduction to birds of prey, from a hawk walk to a full falconry experience day.
Hawk walk — an hour flying a Harris hawk through the woods, suitable for most ages.
A slow, gently absurd walk with a halter-led alpaca — surprisingly popular with groups who've done the adrenaline activities already.
Alpaca walk & picnic — an hour's gentle walk finishing with tea and the alpacas nearby.
A round on one of the area's fell-backed courses, for a quieter day that still gets everyone outdoors.
Nine holes with a view — a relaxed round, clubs available to hire.
Yes, usually around 12 for solo quad riding, with younger children able to ride passenger in an argo cat instead — we confirm exact ages against your group when booking.
Barely — that's rather the point of this page. Falconry and clay shooting do pause in genuinely severe conditions, but everything here runs in typical Lake District weather.
Often, yes, though popular slots do get booked up — worth telling us it's a possibility when we first plan your week, not just on the morning it rains. Mention it when you enquire and we'll build in the option.
Whinlatter's trails, and quiet road and e-bike touring.
Junior adventure days, milestones and corporate away-days.
Full day-by-day plans built from these modules, ready to adjust.
