WalkingWomen ---------3 Lesbian holidays
Most of WalkingWomen's extensive programme is for
ALL women and the holidays are well attended by lesbian and heterosexual
women alike. See main WalkingWomen website?
However, there are also 3 Lesbian-only breaks
each year - fun events in gay-friendly accommodation. Please see below for
details of the 2 remaining holidays this year...

Clare |
|

Lake District offers a wide choice of walks each day, a great time to be had by

Fuller detail
The original WW lesbian break
- and another chance to walk and spend time in an all-lesbian group. Most women
come on their own and it's always friendly. There will be a wide choice of
walks each day so that you can stretch or take it easy according to how you
feel. There are gentle walks mainly in the valleys - beside streams and lakes,
or climbing low hills for the view. Intermediate walks can range from wonderful
ridge walks to secluded swimming lakes in the hills! Or you can set your sights
on some of England's highest 'fells' - Helvellyn, the Fairfield Horseshoe, Bow
Fell, or the dramatic Langdale Pikes.
Glenthorne Guest House where
we'll be staying is gay friendly and we've run many lesbian holidays from here,
taking all the rooms. The bedrooms are mostly ensuite with plenty of
singles. There's a comfortable lounge, conservatory, and a lovely garden for
sitting out in after walking. The food is excellent here! If you want to take a
day off from walking, there's lots to see and do in the area. After walking
there can be outdoor shops and tea shops to visit, games of whatever we choose,
trips to the pub, a party on one evening, or space to just sit around talking.
