🥳🥾Our new ‘Enchanting Borrowdale and Derwentwater’ walking holiday is up on the website and available to book for trips in 2025! 🥾🥳

As you’ll probably have spotted, we’ve spent a lot of time in Borrowdale recently working on our new routes and fine tuning all the details for this holiday, and it’s finally ready.

To be honest, we’re a little bit obsessed with it! Borrowdale is one of the most beautiful and charming areas in the Lake District and this route takes in an enticing mixture of crystal clear rivers, ancient woodland, peaceful lakeshore, hidden valleys, pretty villages and vast views.

There are higher and lower level options for each day’s walking, making it a great option for those who prefer gentle routes with lots of time to soak up the surroundings as well as people who prefer to challenge themselves by heading for the hills! Whichever routes you choose to do, you’ll be surrounded by some of the best scenery in the Lakes at every turn.

We can’t wait to get some people out on this route next year and see if you love it as much as we do, so do have a look at the website (www.muddybootswalkingholidays.com/borrowdale-and-derwentwater) or drop us a line if you would like more information.

📍 The Wharfedale Ramble

We’ve started getting quite a few bookings in for 2025 and, as ever, our 6 night ‘Wharfedale Ramble’ route is already proving popular!

It’s one of our more gentle routes and takes in lots of the charming traditional villages of Wharefedale - Grassington, Burnsall, Linton, Kettlewell, Arncliffe, Buckden and more! - as well as the stunning scenery in between.

It’s also a great option for fans of the recent adaption of All Creatures Great and Small as it visits lots of the places used for filming the series, including Grassington, which was used as Darrowby, and Yockenthwaite Farm, which was Helen’s farm!

Drop us a line if you’d like more info or have a look at the website!

What a difference 2 weeks makes! These videos were taken from (pretty much!) the same spot exactly two weeks apart and I think it’s fascinating to see the changes that happen in that period, especially at this time of year.

Obviously it had rained a lot more in the second video and the colours no longer have the end of summer greens but are fully autumnal.

This beautiful spot is Galleny Force on Stonethwaite Beck in Borrowdale. On both of the days these videos were taken, we were out running over a low level circular walk that is part of our new walking holiday around Borrowdale and Derwentwater.

It’s going to be a great one for people who like stunning views without heading up mountains, as the low level routes on this holiday really give the high level ones a run for their money!

📍 Glaramara, Borrowdale, the Lake District

Out enjoying the autumnal sunshine in Borrowdale last week. We’re still trying out a few options for the higher level circular walk on our new walking holiday and the ascent of Glaramara is one of the possibilities!

It combines some stunning walking in the valley before a fairly challenging ascent up Hinds Gill to the summit and a fantastic ridge walk, with views down Derwentwater to Skiddaw, for the descent.

Amazing scenes of the Northern Lights over Kirkby Lonsdale tonight! 🤩

These are taken with a 10 second exposure on an iPhone but they were visible to the naked eye as more of a pink haze! We’ve seen them a few times here but these were the best so far! The alert is still really high so worth having a look outside if you’re somewhere with fairly low light pollution.

Gorgeous autumnal colours at Aysgarth Falls yesterday!🍂

We love this time of year when all the colours are changing, and Aysgarth Falls is a perfect place to see it.

We were just having a short stroll around the falls, but you can visit Aysgarth Falls as part of lots of longer walks, including a great circuit to Castle Bolton, which is part of our ‘Wensleydale and its Waterfalls’ walking holiday!

Gorgeous day in Borrowdale yesterday doing some route planning for our new walking holiday! It’s going to be a good one! 🤩

Hope you’ve managed to make the most of the good weather this week - next week’s not looking quite so promising! 🌧️😬

Beautiful Swaledale! 😍

One of our absolute favourite areas for walking in the Yorkshire Dales, we have two walking holiday routes through Swaledale – the more challenging ‘Remote Swaledale and Arkengarthdale’ route and the gentler ‘Meander through Swaledale’.

Both take in stunning views, traditional villages, pretty riverside, beautiful wildflower meadows and much more.

Despite being one of the quieter parts of the Yorkshire Dales, Swaledale actually gets booked up further ahead than most other places due to the limited accommodation and the fact that several long-distance paths pass through the area. So if this is somewhere you would be interested in visiting in 2025, it is worth starting to think about it now! Do have a look on our website or drop us a line if you have any questions about our trips

Can you spot the salmon jumping?! 🐟 Now is the perfect time to see salmon leaping up the waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales. It’s an annual event around this time of year and only happens in a few specific spots, with Stainforth Force being the most well-known. We popped down yesterday to see if we got lucky and we did! 🥳
