Why do outdoor activities with River Deep Mountain High?
We specialise in making all our outdoor adventure experiences the best combination of route, content and equipment. For example, we do our gorge walks in the best rivers we can find and give a variety of options, we make our gorge walks maximum fun and challenge by being directly in the water from the start and including jumps and slides, and we provide wetsuits as standard so that you’re getting stuck in rather than thinking about the cold.
You can stay and play at the Waterhead Hotel in Coniston. We have a great facility at the hotel with lake-based activities, archery and team building available by walking out the door! We have a changing room, fabulous grounds and all the hotel facilities right on the lake - an amazing combination. Read more here.
