Your guide to Ullswater
Ullswater stretches from Pooley Bridge to Glenridding through one of the Lake District’s most dramatic valleys, offering cruises, shoreline walks, waterfalls and high fells.
The lake changes character from gentler northern shores to steep mountain scenery beneath Helvellyn. Historic steamers connect key points, while Aira Force, the Ullswater Way and numerous viewpoints provide options for a wide range of abilities.
Visitors can build days around boat and walking combinations, watersports, family attractions or serious fell routes. Pooley Bridge and Glenridding provide the main visitor hubs, with quieter bays and hamlets between them.
