4 full days of great walking based at Unstone Grange a rambling country house with large grounds and an organic kitchen garden; you'll enjoy its beautiful, tranquil surroundings. It is set in the rolling countryside of North Derbyshire, near the edge of the Peak District National Park. Varied hill and valley walking are the main focus of this break as we explore the East side of the Peak District, one of Britain's first national parks. We are offering four full days of walking (Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday) and an optional half-day walk on the Tuesday. Two leaders enables us to offer a choice of two walks each day, a gentle walk and a more challenging one. The optional before-breakfast yoga classes will help you to get in shape for the day. The group is led by local guide Chris Bristow, who is known for his warm, caring nature and sense of adventure. Chris lives in Derbyshire and has explored its hills and dales for many years. The food will be catered by Nigel Walker, founder of VegiVentures, and his team.

Based at Buttermere, in the heart of the ‘Western Fells’, this is VegiVentures 18th year in one of the most beautiful parts of England. The grounds of our guest house extend to the shores of Buttermere, starting point of many lake and mountain walks. Clean mountain air, pure water, excellent vegetarian/vegan food and safe hill walking led by our experienced Lakeland guide Heather Read, go to make these exceptional holidays. Hill, valley and lakeside walking are the main features. For early risers there is a stretch, breathing and movement class. There is also a wide choice of gentle activities in the region: visit Wordsworth's cottage at Grassmere, take a boat on Lake Windermere or Coniston, visit working watermills or do some relaxing shopping in Keswick.
On week one the walks are more gentle; this holiday is ideal for beginners and those who need to build up their fitness. Week two includes longer, medium-paced walks, venturing higher into the hills. These holidays are open to both the beginner and the more experienced mountain walker. The food is catered by Swiss-trained chef and founder of VegiVentures Nigel Walker.
As on all VegiVentures there is a warm and friendly group atmosphere. The holidays are ideal for individuals and couples (most of our guests come on their own, so if you are single, you will be in good company). Space is limited so get in touch NOW for full details and to reserve your place.
