Skiddaw House
Highest hostel in Britain
SUPPORT SKIDDAW HOUSE
Stay - Donate - Volunteer
Skiddaw House is an enterprise hostel; affiliated to the YHA yet independently run and funded.
It is supported by the Skiddaw House Foundation (Charity No. 1119402), a charitable trust committed to maintaining, improving and extending the use of Skiddaw House in an environmentally sympathetic way.
​
The work of this charity is vital to the longevity of the hostel; although the location is fantastic, the weather can be pretty challenging and this combined with the age of the building mean that constant maintenance is required.
