Activities Locations

Most of our activities take place in the Coniston area which is South Lakes, about a half an hours drive from the beautiful Lake Windermere and Ambleside.

We use a variety of different venues for each of our activities, to ensure variety and the right level of challenge for the group. For example, we have scrambling based or water based gorges, or gorge walking venues that offer a bit of both – each have brilliant qualities and offer a totally different experience. We will be able to cater for your specific group needs by advising you on the different locations upon booking.

Once a location is chosen for your activity day, we will send you full directions to the location, with a specific meeting place for you to park up and meet your instructor(s). River Deep Mountain High works in the environment and with the environment – keeping it all lovely and green and for everyone to continue admiring. The benefit in meeting you at the activity venue, means that we all reduce our carbon footprint by getting rid of any unnecessary travelling – and it means you have more time to jump (sometimes literally!) straight in to having fun! pdfs

RDMH Base and Bunkhouse, Lowick Old School

River Deep Mountain High have a beautiful base and bunkhouse in Lowick near Coniston water. The majority of our activities customers will not come to our base, they will be meeting their instructor at the activity location. We use Lowick Old School for Archery and Orienteering sessions. It is a bunkhouse suitable for groups of up to 22 people and is the base for most of our Outdoor Skills Training.

The RDMH Base offers a large free parking area, toilets and kitchen/dining facilities, and a comfortable meeting area with learning equipment. Lowick Old School also has a campfire area and beautiful views across the Coniston Fells, giving a true feeling of being in the Lake District.
