Situated in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria Outdoors has over 60 years of delivering high quality outdoor education, adventures, and experiences to children, young people, and adults.

We have a varied range of high-quality exciting activities, all led by our qualified and experienced outdoor education leaders.  Based at Hawse End Centre and Hawse End Cottage situated on the shores of Derwentwater, and Scarness Campsite situated on Bassenthwaite Lake, we have easy access for all our water activities.  We are also surrounded by Cumbria's stunning fells, crags and ghylls, for mountain walking, rock climbing, abseiling, and ghyll scrambling.  All our sites have their own extensive grounds for our on-site activities, so there really is a lot to choose from.
