Our Commitment to the Fells
At Inspirit Walking, we believe that sharing the spectacular landscapes of the Lake District carries a real responsibility. The fells aren't just our workplace—they are a world heritage environment that requires care, respect, and active preservation.
As a premium guiding agency, we don't just walk these paths; we actively invest in them. We ensure that every private group experience directly supports the landscape, the wildlife, and the local communities that make the Lake District so special.
The Organizations We Proudly Support
We believe in putting our money where our boots are. A dedicated portion of every single booking fee goes directly to the local organizations working tirelessly on the ground. When you book an experience with us, you are directly supporting:
Fix the Fells: Funding vital path repairs to combat erosion and protect fragile upland habitats from heavy footfall.
Cumbria Wildlife Trust: Helping to restore precious peatlands and protect native wildlife across the county.
The Lake District Foundation: Backing community-led environmental and cultural heritage projects throughout the National Park.
Mountain Rescue: Supporting the incredible, voluntary emergency teams who keep everyone safe on the high fells.
Our Countryside Code & Outdoor Policy
A great walk is about more than just the views; it’s about understanding, respecting, and protecting the land beneath your feet. Beyond our local partnerships, all Inspirit Walking itineraries strictly adhere to a universal outdoor policy based on the national Countryside Code:
Respect Everyone: We share the outdoors safely. Our guides ensure our groups respect local residents, farmers, and fellow trail users.
Protect the Environment: We protect the natural ecosystem by staying on designated paths, packing out all litter, and ensuring we leave no trace of our visit. We never disturb wildlife, livestock, or historic ruins.
Grounded Education: We share relaxed, expert insights into landscape management, the real-world pressures of modern tourism on rural infrastructure, and how we can all help protect fragile upland environments from erosion and overcrowding.
Living Communities: We foster deep respect for unique rural heritage, highlighting the traditional hill farming communities and independent businesses that keep local economies alive wherever we walk.
