As International Women's Day (IWD) on 8th March celebrates the achievements of women around the world, why not push your own comfort zone on a Women's Activity Week with Chapters Experience Holidays. Many countries have made IWD an official holiday, and whilst this is not the case in the UK, it's the ideal excuse to book a holiday, taking time out to catch up with old friends or perhaps make some new ones. And there will be plenty of time to put the world to rights while you take in the fresh Cumbrian mountain air! 

Women's Activity Week 

Staying in Hassness Country House on the shores of Buttermere  - a tranquil area of dramatic fells, farms and woodland, Women's Activity Week is the perfect opportunity to spend time with friends in an uplifting natural environment away from day to day stresses.  Relax with other like-minded women; try out something new such as Nordic walking or the more traditional Hill Walking; or take a bracing morning dip in the somewhat refreshing water. Interspersed with yoga and pilates to restore and unwind, as well as circuit training or aerobics for those looking for more cardiac activity, busy days roaming the countryside are well rewarded with locally sourced home cooked meals and the promise of Ruby's superb freshly baked cakes.  Extremely comfortable, Hassness Country House is beautifully located in its own extensive grounds surrounded by breathtaking views.  

Chapters Experience Holidays (01707 246666, www.chaptersholidays.co.uk) Women's Activity Week 7 night holiday starts from £510per person including accommodation, meals except one dinner, activities and transport for activities.  Departures in July, August and September 2017.
