About Graythwaite Adventure
Graythwaite Adventure operates on a private 5,000-acre estate on the south-west shore of Lake Windermere, between Newby Bridge and Hawkshead. Set in stunning Lakeland countryside, the estate provides a unique venue for land and water-based outdoor activities, with purpose-built facilities that are unavailable anywhere else in the region. The business has earned an award-winning reputation for delivering memorable experiences in an environmentally sustainable way.
Their flagship offering is 4x4 off-road driving on the Lake District's only purpose-built BORDA-accredited course, where guests tackle steep inclines, dramatic descents, and water crossings in Land Rover Defenders or INEOS Grenadiers. Beyond driving, they offer clay pigeon shooting, archery, axe throwing, bushcraft skills sessions, and kayak and paddleboard hire on the estate's private waterfront during the warmer months from April to September.
Graythwaite Adventure stands out for the exclusivity and variety of its setting — activities take place on private land with no public access, meaning groups enjoy the estate without crowds. Their combo packages pair driving with bushcraft, making it a popular choice for corporate team building, stag and hen parties, and family days out. BORDA-qualified instructors deliver expert tuition throughout.
