Off The Beaten Track Ullswater

Today we’re off to the Lake District in North West England. Lake Ullswater to be precise.

Now “the lakes” as they are known, can be very busy in summer, I managed to pick a day where the crowds had stayed away, but the sun was shining.

It’s been a long time since I was at Ullswater, in fact it was an old school trip, so I took the first chance I got just to pull the car over into a layby and take a look along the lake.

The view itself was absolutely spectacular and I’m not sure the camera captures the true scale of the landscape. However, the best way to drink in all the surroundings is to take a boat trip.

Now the one thing about boat trips is they cant be rushed. You have to got at the pace set by the Captain, and this trip took me two hours to complete with the Ullswater Steamers.

I boarded at Glenridding, headquarters to the Ullswater Steamers. We then went over the lake which was quite busy with allsorts of traffic, to Howtown. The place I had visited in my childhood. From the mooring at Howtown we then went on to Pooley Bridge and returned via the same route.

So put your life jacket on, hop aboard, kick back and relax, whilst I take you on a circuit of Ullswater in the Lake District.
