What is Ghyll Scrambling?
Ghyll scrambling is an exciting way to explore a natural mountain gorge, climbing over rocks, wading through flowing water, sliding down natural rock chutes and tackling waterfalls and pools along the way. Our ghyll scrambling in Keswick takes place at Stoneycroft Ghyll in the Newlands Valley, one of the Lake District’s fantastic natural adventure playgrounds.

What’s the Difference Between Ghyll Scrambling and Canyoning?
Ghyll scrambling and canyoning are similar, but canyoning takes the adventure a step further. Ghyll scrambling involves travelling through a mountain gorge, tackling waterfalls, rock pools and natural slides. Canyoning adds more technical elements, including rope-assisted descents and abseiling down waterfalls, making it a more challenging adventure.
Both activities let you experience the beauty of the Lake District from a unique perspective, with routes selected for their dramatic landscapes and sheer enjoyment factor.
