A place to have a hike, right along the gorge. Took around an hour to the route which takes in the wooden lion statue & cave. You need to wear a hard hat given to you at the start as there’s overhanging rock as you along the which I did bang my head on so was glad of the protection. A little slippy in places but wasn’t too strenuous a walk. There’s a lovely hanging slightly over the where you can get food & drink & has glass floor in places to view the below. I did the Big 5 with a small group as part of an arts leadership programme. Tom was our instructor throughout and he was amazing, super friendly and really made us feel safe. I had a few tricky moments with confidence and my physical ability particularly on the via ferrata and he talked me through and helped me get over the mental block I was having. We were a group of people who had just met in the day before and doing these activities together was a really bonding experience for us, setting us up nicely for the rest of our arts leadership week. I’m thinking of coming back with friends and family. First came here as a child some 40 years ago and was keen to revisit and see how if at all the place had changed. I am pleased to report that the old magic and sense of adventure was very much still there. Took the and literally every way you look is another picture perfect scene, accented by the late autumnal colours. The hard hat that is offered at the start of the is very much necessary, particularly on the approach to and then descent into Tom Taylor's Cave. So that vague memory I had of mum letting us run through a cave with nothing but a torch and a funny hat on turned out to be true after all. You need to be aware that there are genuine dangers here. The instructions from the and the signs on the route are not just theatre to big up the excitement of the place. But if you heed the safety instructions and stay within your own limitations you will find a place you want to spend a lifetime coming back to as well. We last came to How Stean back in early 2001 and this time we were back with our son and daughter. The itself is as we remembered and is an excellent experience - highly recommended. The has undergone significant changes since we were last here, and although ok, has lost a lot of the home cooked charm we remember from all those years ago. Overall, however, I would still recommend a visit if you are in the area. My wife and I done Via ferrata. Tom was perfect instructor. It was super safe. 100% recomending. Im big lad and my wife is litle girl. We both nearly 50s and not super fit. And we did it. Thank you and see you soon. afternoon tackling the Via Ferrata along the walls of the - expertly led by our Tom, we were challenged at times but never felt anything other than perfectly safe. The opportunity to then head back into the afterwards and explore the paths and caves at our leisure was a huge bonus. The served excellent lunch at a very reasonable price - the chips were amazing! Would highly recommend a visit - we're already planning to return for an overnight stay in the on site lodges to check out the other activities. Beautiful location, had a fantastic weekend away in the 4 person cabin, the wood fired hot tub was lovely and hot! The did an breakfast and the were lovely. Thank you!!

Missing the weather already 😪 Went here on a school trip, location and site for an adventure getaway. The is and has a glass floor looking down into the gorge. are friendly and fun. walking, an abseil, caving and hill walking all on site but my favourite was the via ferrata which is fun and Includes a zip line too!! Lodge was cosy, clean, shower in the lodge and plenty of toilets and showers for campers. Only downside is the flies which are unbearable on an evening and even during the day if it's damp. Lots of insect repellent needed!!! Stopped here for a coffee and cheese scone. Excellent facilities, lovely and cheese scone, butter & chutney. Topped the energy levels after a 8 mile cycle ride from Pateley Bridge. Ready for my ride over Middlesmoore down to Scar House reservoir and back to Pateley Bridge. Well worth stopping here. cafe A mountain biker, in the middle of NOWHERE, recommended this place and it was such a hidden gem!! Coffee was good. Sausage rolls delicious. The family who run the place are absolutely beautiful, we had such a nice evening, sitting and chatting with our children. They even gave our babies their first ice pops! We are hoping to come back and book a lodge in the near future after such lovely hospitality. Thank you. Nice little with a few activities on offer. We just went for the which was very good. (Take a torch) We can now visit every day for 3 months should we so wish This is a place for a brilliant family experience. Two separate walking experiences were for me, my husband and my sons. Proper memory making experiences that I'd highly recommend. Excellent and a stunning setting. Superb location and very friendly staff! Good food in caffe 👌 We definitely coming bag again next year! I had my stag party at Howstean with 11 friends, and we did "The Big Five," which I highly recommend. We stayed for two nights, and it was fun from start to finish! The surroundings are really scenic, with our log cabins nestled among lush green hills and the gorge. It's definitely a place for a variety of outdoor activities and fun. The instructors made everything really engaging too! Thanks again to Monty and all the at Howstean Gorge! We have just returned from a weekend of camping at How Stean Gorge. We absolutely loved it. The campsite is in such a beautiful location and there is so much to do nearby. The couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. We ate in the restaurant twice and the food was delicious. Big portions and a selection served with a smile. We did abseiling and walking with Connor and Terry who were fantastic and our boys said it was the best thing they have ever done. The fire pits and picnic benches on the campsite were a nice touch too. We have had the best weekend and we will definitely be coming back for another visit.
