Canyoning in Keswick, Lake District

£50.00 – £70.00

Our Canyoning adventure in the beautiful Newlands Valley in Keswick, is one for the thrill seekers! Once you’re suited and booted and have received a safety briefing from your instructor, you will descend the steepest section of Stoneycroft ghyll by abseil, scrambling, jumping and sliding, all whilst taking in scenery that can’t be seen from a footpath!

This adventure can not only teach you a new set of skills, but may also teach you things about our local area you may not already know. Stoney Croft canyon has a history built from the mining industry, which your instructor will explain as you descend deeper into the canyon.
