2025 Ullswater Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Decided to celebrate my birthday with a hike at Lake District – Ullswater, expecting breathtaking views and fresh air. What I didn’t expect? The brutal weather that turned my adventure into a near-death experience. 🌧️💨 Slippery trails, wild winds, and freezing rain—I questioned my life choices more times than I’d like to admit. But hey, I made it out alive (barely), and at least the views were almost worth it. Would I do it again? Probably… but maybe in better weather! 😅 #BirthdayHike #LakeDistrict #Ullswater #HikingAdventures #NatureVsMe #AlmostDiedButItWasPretty #WildWeather #AdventureSeeker #UKHikes #WorthItKinda

The Lake District is the crown of England’s beautiful countryside with the national park awash with picturesque villages, high and wild mountain tops and of course the showstoppers themselves the Lakes. The second biggest of these is Ullswater and there aren’t many better ways to see this than by taking to the water itself. This can be easily achieved by jumping on the historic paddle steamers and crossing from Pooley Bridge over to Glenridding. For those looking for a bit of adventure you can always take on the Ullswater way on the return leg. #lakedistrict #voyagevibes

The hills and mountains surrounding the Lake District’s second biggest lake have to be some of the most stunning not only in the region but in the whole of the UK. When looking at the map of the area you will be spoilt for choice with where to head up. From the imposing Hellvellyn and its infamous striding edge ridge to the easier but no less spectacular Hallin Fell. Once you’ve finished with that some of the villages surrounding the lake are well worth a stop, especially Pooley Bridge on its eastern edge. #lakedistrict #views #voyagevibes
