Home | Local Update | Lake District Self-Guided Walking Holidays

New for summer 2024, The Coppermines Lake’s Cottage’s self-guided walking and adventure holidays have been designed and compiled for those looking to get out and about within the incredible Lake District scenery but are not quite sure where to start.

Whether you’re staying for a weekend, midweek break or a full week holiday, we can provide you with a walking and adventure itinerary to help you get the most out of your stay in the Lakes.

Our self-guided walking holidays are based in Coniston Village. And the best thing about them is that your car can have a holiday too.

We have up to 7 days itinerary, all based directly from Coniston village – so you can park up on arrival and leave your car untouched during your break.

That means no stressful holiday traffic, no expensive or hard-to find parking and no navigating narrow country lanes or white-knuckle mountain passes. Simply lace up your boots and stride out from your cottage door and really get to know the fantastic area in which you’re staying.

Our itinerary includes half day or full day walks categorised by easiness or difficultness into “A” walks and “B” walks, so you can tailor your holiday to your own abilities and preferences.

You can choose to spend every day of your holiday walking, or you can kick-back and relax on as many rest days as you like! On a self-guided walking holiday, you have the ultimate freedom to walk as much, or as little, as you choose. There are no gruelling schedules, there’s no jostling for position in a large group there is simply the ultimate freedom to walk your own way at your own pace.

And because we are locally owned, and locally based right here in the Lake District, all of our self-guided walks were researched and compiled by our local team, utilising our own experiences of amazing walks in our wonderful area.

Our self-guided walking itineraries are FREE for all Coppermines guests. Guides will be sent via email after booking upon request. To request your guides please email info@coppermines.co.uk quoting your booking reference number. You can also request your itinerary by calling our Coniston Office on 015394 41765.

Printed copies of the guides can be collected in either A4 or A3 format from our Coniston office and shop. Please bring your booking reference along with you when collecting your guides.
