Exploring Ullswater North Western Fells

The north western side of Ullswater is a mixture of low rolling fells interspersed with picturesque hamlets. Criss-crossing this quiet corner of the Lake District is a network of lanes and fell roads. This tour takes in all the best corners and provides, at every turn, fascinating and far reaching views. Amongst the many highlights are a full side view of the mighty Blencathra with its distinct ridges and gills.  You'll also see a flashing glimpse of Ullswater as you free wheel down the A5091 from Dockray.

The start and finish are linked by taking a cruise on the Ullswater 'Steamer' the full length of the Lake.
