Ullswater an extraordinary scenic beauty. William Wordsworth, inspired by a field of daffodils on the shores of Ullswater, composed his most famous poem, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud". Today, Ullswater is a favourite destination for visitors seeking tranquillity and outdoor activities.
The lake is perfect for various watersports, including sailing, kayaking, and fishing. Its surroundings offer a multitude of walking trails, ranging from leisurely lakeside strolls to more strenuous hikes up the surrounding fells such as Helvellyn, England's third highest mountain. One of the most popular ways to enjoy Ullswater's beauty is via the Ullswater 'Steamers', which offer lake cruises, providing exceptional views of the lake and mountains.
Ullswater is located near several key attractions and towns in the Lake District. Pooley Bridge, at the northeastern end of the lake, is a charming village known for its iconic bridge and local festivals. Glenridding, at the southern end, serves as the starting point for many hikes, including the ascent to Helvellyn. A bit further afield, the market towns of Keswick and Penrith offer shopping and dining options, while the picturesque village of Grasmere, home to Dove Cottage and the Wordsworth Museum, provides a cultural outing. The scenic landscapes of Crummock Water, Buttermere, and Loweswater are also within a comfortable drive. With its stunning beauty and close proximity to a range of attractions, Ullswater is a perfect base for exploring the Lake District.
