TRIP OVERVIEW
Tour Highlights
Take in the breathtaking scenery in Britain's world-famous Lake District
Challenge yourself on our longest lakes swims in the U.K.
Relax and unwind at the end of each day at the luxurious Daffodil Hotel and Spa on the banks of Grasmere Lake
Experience this picturesque corner of the world from a truly unique perspective
The Lake District is home to over 80 lakes, meres, waters, and tarns making it a great location for open water swimming. On this short escape, we offer the opportunity to do some longer swims on what we think are four of the best lakes in the area. The days are packed as we swim the entire length of Derwent Water and Wast Water and swim across Grasmere and Ullswater.
This trip is a fabulous opportunity to spend a few days not only exploring the different areas of the Lake District from a swimming perspective, but also experiencing the uniqueness of each lake. Swimmers will be escorted by experienced swim guides and qualified canoeists during all swims.
Our accommodation is located on the shores of the water at Grasmere, right across the road from Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage.

Another really great break with SwimTrek. Our guide and safety cover were all fab, and the lakes & weather were stunning.
