Where the hills meet the sky and adventure, friendships and shared discoveries await.
A place to explore. A place to connect. A place to grow.
Whether you are a Scout or Guide Group, a walking group, or simply friends looking for a special getaway in the Yorkshire Dales, Hag Dyke offers an experience shaped by adventure, community and the great outdoors.
For almost 90 years Hag Dyke has welcomed Scouts, Guides, walkers and outdoor enthusiasts to its off gride base high on the slopes of Great Whernside, above Kettlewell. It is a place where groups come together, challenge themselves on the hills, enjoy time around the fire and make memories that last long after the boots are dry. Our unique location makes Hag Dyke the ideal place to get away and explore more. Together.
