Ullswater Visit MAP & VISITOR GUIDE The Lake District ullswater.org
Welcome to Ullswater
Welcome to Ullswater, nestled on the eastern fringes of the Lake District National Park. This glorious Cumbrian treasure is adjacent to the tranquil Eden valley and just a short drive from the M6 motorway.
Forget bright lights and tourist hot spots, the Ullswater valley is a haven of peace and tranquillity – a must for walkers, water-lovers and those looking to escape the daily grind. Ullswater itself is of course the main attraction. Surrounded by gently rolling countryside at the northern end around Pooley Bridge, a trip south down the lakeshore gives way to sheer fellsides that drop away into the water below, culminating in the majesty of England’s favourite mountain, Helvellyn. Whether your visit is an annual holiday, a short break or just an escape for the day, Ullswater has a surprisingly diverse range of activities, places to stay, visit, eat and shop – many of which can be found in this leaflet. However for more comprehensive information on our beautiful area, visit ullswater.org

Events FARMING, VOLUNTEERING & COMMUNITY Experience Ullswater more meaningfully this year There’s plenty of events on year-round in our valley. For the very latest details of what’s on when around the Ullswater valley, www.ullswater.org/events
https://www.ullswater.org/directory/area/ farming-community-and-volunteering/ We invite you to peel back the many layers of our beautiful valley and engage more deeply on your next visit with our people, our places and our landscape. Get closer to nature with guided walks and community paths created to benefit both locals and residents. Take a sustainable approach to your holiday, catch the train to Penrith then walk the Eamont Way to Pooley Bridge - your northern Ullswater holiday hub. From there, discover the valley via a network of foot and cycle paths, by ‘Steamer’ or by ‘Hopper Bus’. New to the fells? Try a National Park guided ranger walk - all ages and abilities welcome! Understand the cycle of the seasons and how we live with, and on, the land - take a farm visit with Miller Farming, have a look at the habitat improvement projects undertaken by Ullswater CIC or volunteer some of your time with the gorgeous Lowther Castle and Gardens or with the National Trust and their vital nature conservation projects. Discover local produce - from Fabi’s Fabulous Milk (they also do Wagyu steaks and eggs!) to Gowbarrow Hall Farm meat boxes - try them on holiday then order for delivery once back home! Expand your horizons and local knowledge with a Friends of the Ullswater Way talk held monthly in local community venues around the valley.
