Days out

Step into Ullswater...

And be prepared to be swept away by the beauty of this magical place. Whatever the season, nature takes centre stage and puts on a spectacular performance. With towering Lakeland fells that are reflected in the tranquil waters of the lake, and a network of hiking trails offering dramatic views at every turn, it’s no wonder Ullswater is irresistible to hikers, water enthusiasts, picnic afficionados, and cyclists. A day out in Ullswater promises to be truly special.

Best for dog-friendly

For those all-important walkies, Waterfoot is the ideal base for walking enthusiasts of the two and four leg kind. The famous Ullswater Way - a spectacular 20 mile walking route that circumnavigates the lake – meanders through the park and, fear not, can easily be walked in sections using the Ullswater 'Steamers' which welcome dogs. There are plenty of lakeside strolls where paws can splash in water, as well as fellside climbs that are puptastic for energetic hounds. And when it’s time to put both feet and paws up, unwind in one of the many eateries.
