Helvellyn Guided Walk at Into The Outside

This is a chance to explore Into The Outside's Lake District Guided Walk of Helvellyn & Striding Edge.

This mythical mountain, standing at 950m, is one of the great mountains of the Lake District. Helvellyn offers the walker the chance to step back in time to rocky terrain and narrow glaciated edges. It is one of England’s four three-thousand-foot summits and is home of the best ridge walk in Britain – Striding Edge. Referenced by the poet William Wordsworth in his work ‘Fidelity’ the flat summit plateau is a great place to take in the stunning views in every direction. Helvellyn is also part of the Into The Outside Lakes 3000s.
