About the event
❄️ NEW for 2026! ❄️
Start your new year with a 3 night winter weekend in one of the prettiest valleys in the Lake District. This holiday is based at High Swinside Farm above the Lorton Valley in West Cumbria with extensive views and a stunning hillside setting. The Lorton area holds a special place in my heart. Let me share it with you on this short winter break.
High Swinside boasts panoramic views across the vale of Lorton. The peaceful position at the end of a private track offers a rare opportunity to escape the pressures of modern life. Nestled on the flanks of Ladyside Pike, there is abundant birdlife and wildlife, along with resident chickens and neighbouring Herdwick sheep.
Each day we will head out for a group walk and swim with Crummock Water, Buttermere, and Loweswater all within a 20 minute drive. Walks are sociable in nature,…
