Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- 414alliDarlington, UK3 contributionsKids took part in Sundown Treetop challenge for Halloween. Thoroughly enjoyed the challenges in the dark. Only issue was no lighting back to a pitch dark car park. As a result one of our party tripped on an uneven path, fell over and cracked their head, and twisted ankle. Surely some low level lighting to the car park is a must from health and safety perspective as people could get seriously hurtWritten 3 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- James PCambridge, UK2,793 contributionsImpressive Caves!
If you arrive from the west, White Moss car parks, you find the main cave first. If you arrive from the eastern end of the lake, you come across a smaller cave first and then need to continue the climb up to the main one.Written 29 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our guide arrived late and when we called the shop weren’t able to get any contact details to track him down but thankfully he arrived soon after. One of the group had underestimated the challenge and had to turn back after an hour. Our guide had to help him back down so put me in charge and sent us onwards. The track was fairly easy to follow but with phone signal issues it was a little nerve wracking whether we would be able to find him again. Luckily we did and after that there were no further issues. The hike itself was great and it was good as a solo traveller to have a group of people to chat with and to help each other along the challenges of striding edge. Our guide was kind enough to drive some of the others back to Ambleside as they had to get a taxi in the morning, not realising that we were making our own way to Glenridding. Overall a really good day bar a few minor issues. I would definitely book a day hike again through adventure peaks.Written 14 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lynette22 contributionsMark was a great guide! I've never done ghyll scrambling before so he guided me but still allowed me the independence to find my way up the ghyll. The ghyll is just stunning and it was heaps of fun! I loved every minute!Written 6 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dave DDunfermline, UK3 contributionsThis was brilliant and fun in every single way. Josh and Tim were great instructors and we had a great time (even those of us who weren't the best at it). Highly recommended.Written 27 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
