One of the UK’s World Heritage Sites, The Lake District offers outstanding, rugged countryside unlike anywhere else in the country with mountains and of course lakes appearing at every turn. This self-guided walking tour moves away from the tourist traps to immerse you in the tranquillity of the lakes, set against the backdrop of England’s highest mountain peaks.

Set in the Cumbrian Countryside, our unique setting gives travellers an insight into local species as well and the importance of falconry to English heritage. Discover why Kings of England kept the Falconers so close, and the role falconers played in Medieval Britain. Our experience is personal, with lots of local knowledge about Carlisle and the surrounding Lake District, and families can get up close and personal to our range of birds. It is all set in the outdoors, so great way to get the kids out of the house. A Family activity is for 2 adults and 3 children. If you wish to bring other adults on this booking you can pay for additional participants when you arrive.
