The longest walk on this retreat will be approximately 10 miles and will have quite a lot of elevation in it.

The accommodation is in Cautley, a short distance from Sedbergh. A spacious and beautiful house with an amazing garden.
The bedrooms, each with countryside views, are as follows - 4 twin en suite rooms, 1 double en suite (for single occupancy) and 2 double rooms, each for single occupancy with a shared bathroom.
Thoughtful touches & beautifully decorated throughout - you will feel at home as well as spoilt during your stay.
Meals and other details...
We will feed you hearty and healthy meals to fuel you for the days ahead. Special dietary requirements can be catered for - just ask.
The Howgill Fells and surrounding area are a simply beautiful part of Cumbria. Rugged and undisturbed, the scenery on our hikes is stunning. The terrain can be challenging, with hills and rough ground, so a certain level of good fitness is required. You can enjoy a relax in a hammock back at the house as a reward afterwards!
The wild swimming will take place in local rivers. Safety is always our main priority, so a judgement will be made on water levels, speed of the flow etc, before each dip.
The yoga is either in the calm and tranquil studio at the house or on a sunny day, out on the deck with amazing Howgill Fell views!
The ice bath is available for your use during your stay. We will also have a one hour sauna session with ice bath/garden shower intervals during the retreat.
Twin ensuite room shared. Price per person £400
Small double for single use £400
Twin ensuite for sole occupancy (£250 supplement included) £650
Our adventures are great fun with friends, but we equally welcome solo travellers! We have three rooms that are for sole occupancy or we will gladly pair you with another Pretty Gritty lady in a twin room!
Please note, the large twin en suite rooms incur a sole occupancy charge if you wish to stay in one of these alone.
