Sharing the British wild, one adventure at a time.
We believe the great outdoors is for everyone. Our mission is to create immersive, inspiring experiences that help you discover the joy of nature — while building real skills and confidence.
Born from a love of the British uplands.
Peaks and Dales started with a simple idea: that there's nothing quite like discovering a wild landscape with someone who knows it well. Someone who can point out the peregrine on the crag, name the valley below, and choose the route that suits the day, the weather and the people you're with.
Today we run guided hikes, trail runs, navigation courses and our own series of trail races — all built around the places we know best: the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
Four principles that shape every adventure.
Wild for everyone
The outdoors should be welcoming, accessible and joyful — for first-time walkers and seasoned mountain runners alike.
Small groups
We keep numbers low so every adventurer gets attention, support and a chance to genuinely connect with the place.
Leave no trace
We move lightly through the hills and teach the same — protecting the landscapes we love for the next generation.
