Introduction
The British countryside offers a near-endless number of opportunities to explore, discover new things and try unusual activities.
From fell walking in the Lake District to canoeing in the Peak District or climbing and abseiling in Wales. Every outdoor activity you can think of – and many you can’t – is catered for somewhere.
Working with our approved AALA-licensed partners, we provide real, safe and thrilling experiences in the great outdoors. We offer a range of adventurous activities at many of our hostels on a half-day or full-day basis so you can make your residential trip suit you.
All of our activities are in the outdoors so vary depending on the location. Once booked you’ll be contacted by our partners who will discuss any specific requirements you may have.
