We have teamed up with the Armitt Museum to provide a series of walking events in June as part of their “The Pull of the Fells” exhibition, which looks at the history of fell walking, rock climbing, and mountaineering in the Lakes, as well as the physical and mental wellbeing benefits of these activities. This first event will be a family friendly walk starting in Ambleside. On this walk we will pass Stock Ghyll before heading up to the higher fells. From here we will make a loop round Wansfell Pike, stopping to look at the views of Windermere before we head back down to Ambleside and the Armitt Museum to finish.
There will be a 20% discount to the museum entry fees if you present the eventbrite eticket
