News & Offers

Hawse End Centre

Hawse End Centre

…an amazing location with extensive grounds…

We hold a number of outdoor centres, like Hawse End near Keswick, as part of our network. They often have a lot in common. Run by the local authority for youth group or school trips or for adult groups seeking lead adventure activities. They are often in an old re-purposed building refurbished to a high standard in a beautiful area. 

The Hawse End Centre raises these features to a very high degree. It is housed in a converted country mansion, steep roofed and slate-built in the Lake District vernacular with spacious and elegantly proportioned rooms including games room, classroom and lounge. Whoever built this house chose an amazing location with extensive grounds right down to the waterfront. It Looks across the lake, past its islands to pretty Keswick and the mountains beyond. A near neighbour is Catbells, a mountain described by Wainwright as  “one of the great favourites, a family fell where grandmothers and infants can climb together, a place beloved.”

Because of its favoured location, the centre offers qualified instructors and well-organised adventures in whole range of activities: Sailing, Rock Climbing, Kayaking, Orienteering, Caving, Mountain Walking, Ghyll Climbing and the list goes on.

Consider it strongly for you next group visit, or of you’re a smaller gang visit their website  and consider the cottage or yurts they’ve got on hand. 

Night one on the Sea to Sea

Night one on the Sea to Sea

Take a launch to comfort.

Here’s an idea, why not have an alternative form of transport at the end of Day One traveling East on the Sea to Sea cycle ride.   From your finish in Keswick swing down to Crow Park and pick up a launch to Hawse End.  Here the Hawsse End Centre will provide you with accommodation isolated on the Lakeside in a comfortable country mansion.
