HAYSTACKS LAKE DISTRICT DAY HIKE

Join Made Wild Adventures for a scenic and rewarding day hike up Haystacks, one of the Lake District’s most beloved fells and favourite of Alfred Wainwright.

This amazing route winds past tarns, rocky outcrops, and sweeping views, offering a mix of gentle paths and more rugged terrain. Perfect for those wanting a classic mountain day without huge mileage, Haystacks delivers stunning scenery, a touch of adventure, and a real sense of escape into the wild.

This is a guided group hike with a qualified mountain leader designed for anyone with a reasonable fitness base who wants to build confidence on the trails, meet like-minded people, and enjoy a day moving through stunning mountain landscapes at a relaxed pace.
