Overview

This is one of our favourite locations in Swaledale as it boasts stunning views, is a great base of activities and gives a real raw perspective on the Yorkshire Dales. This weekend has been designed with a combination of relaxing yoga classes alongside hiking and wild swimming. The wild swimming is guided by Les (aka the Dales Dipper) and he is there to offer support and the techniques required for dealing with cold water submersion. Matt, our hiking guide will put together a 3 hour trail to explore this stunning location on foot before you return back to Hazel Brow to meet the resident alpacas for a stroll and feed. We hire in a hot tub for this weekend to ease the muscles after your outdoor adventures.
