    Tips

    Hiking

    Ullswater is the second largest lake in the Lake District. It formed in a glacial trough where the glacier scraped out the valley bottom and then dammed the end with sediment.
    Glenridding is at the southern end and Pooley Bridge at the north. Both are great walking bases with plenty of facilities.
    Stop here at the bench for great views.

    Hiking

    Walking along Ullswater is a mix of right near the lake and having to occasionally walk on the road side to get to the next point.
