Experience. Explore. Escape.

We were challenged, in writing this website, to sum up the essence of Graythwaite Adventure in a pithy one liner. We considered our personal passion for the Lake District, our love of all things outdoors, our unfaltering attention to detail in delivering a career’s worth of events with CBA Events and our dedication to training but none of them captured our whole ethos in a single statement.

In the end we were discussing the quandary with a close friend and he said that’s easy ‘You love to share!’ and the more we thought of it the more this sums up everything we strive for. From sharing our beloved Lake District, to sharing unique experiences, knowledge and even a slice of wood fired pizza and a cold beer on the lakeshore, what we love most is helping other people to share these snap shots in time and for guests to leave with lasting memories.

The Graythwaite Estate

The story of Graythwaite Estate is truly magical.

Graythwaite is a family-run country estate spanning 5,000 acres of the English Lake District in Cumbria. It’s rich in history, heritage and literary connections and continues to support a thriving community to this day.

The Sandys family have lived at Graythwaite for some 500 years, since the first Graythwaite Hall was built, and continue to be immensely hands on with the day to day running.

The family founded and continue to govern the nearby Hawkshead Grammar School where the young William Wordsworth attended. Beatrix Potter described the estate as ‘theatrical’ and made Esthwaite Hall home to her character Jeremy Fisher, the gentleman frog.  Esthwaite Hall still sits within the family estate.

Since the 1980’s, some of the Estate’s properties have been lovingly transformed into holiday cottages. The Estate now boasts a fine collection of traditional Lakeland-built cottages accommodating 4 to 18 guests in the majestic Silverholme, a 5-star Georgian manor house, so there’s somewhere to stay to suit many a couple, family, group of friends or occasion.

The Graythwaite Adventure team are based on the estate, offering a range of exciting experiences in the grounds; the perfect location to enjoy outdoor activities on the shores of Lake Windermere in the heart of the Lake District.
