Rookin House Farm is an established adventure venue and has been offering a wide variety of outdoor activities for over 20 years. Family owned and operated, Rookin House has a strong focus on both fun and safety. The centre is just 4 miles from Ullswater, and 8 miles from both Keswick and Penrith and easily accessible from the A66. All of the activities are based on one site with Blencathra providing a spectacular Lakeland backdrop. Whilst we do have self-catering accommodation here at Rookin House, you don't have to stay on site to take part in activity sessions with us. You don't have to be part of a larger group either (although minimum numbers do apply to some activities).
