At the southern tip of Ullswater, Patterdale is one of the Lake District’s most peaceful valleys — the perfect place to pause and recharge. Over the weekend we blend gentle paddling, a guided fell walk, yoga, and wild swimming with time to relax at our luxury base camp, complete with a wood-burning sauna and refreshing cold-dip pool. Evenings mean hearty meals and campfires by the river, mornings start with yoga or a wild swim, and days are spent exploring Ullswater’s water and fells at an easy pace. It’s the ultimate reset for body and mind, with red squirrels, buzzards, and otters often nearby. As Joe says: “Patterdale feels like a retreat in itself — add paddling, hiking, and a sauna by the river, and you’ve got the perfect reset.” – Joe Alexander.
