Ullswater is approx. 7.5 miles (12km) long and Cream ORTea approx. 0.5 miles wide (0.8km), with an area of 3 square miles (4.8 square km) lying at a height of 477 feet above sea level. Festive Lunch? Ullswater was formed by three separate glaciers, this is why it is unique in The Lake District. It is the only lake with three separate reaches and its two distinct dog-legs. Ullswater is a typical narrow “ribbon lake” formed after the last ice age when the deepened section of the valley floor filled with meltwater from a retreated glacier. During a volcanic upheaval approximately 450 million years ago, faults in the rocks allowed movement; Howtown is located on such a fault which gives Ullswater its characteristic kink.

  • This Walk on Gowbarrow Fell Provides Some Fabulous Views Along Ullswater, Without a Massive Amount of Climbing
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Gowbarrow Fell and Aira Force Starting point and OS Grid reference Aira Force car park on the A592 by Ullswater (NY 401200). Pay and display car park. Ordnance Survey map OL5 The English Lakes North-Eastern Area Distance 4 miles Date of Walk 19 October 20016 Traffic light rating Introduction: This walk on Gowbarrow Fell provides some fabulous views along Ullswater, without a massive amount of climbing. The path broadly follows the contours of the hill above the lakeside and when it turns towards the summit, it does so in a fairly gentle manner. The descent is quite steep (hence the amber traffic light) but nothing to worry about. The summit is at 1578 ft (481 metres) and as you approach it, you begin to get views towards the north and in particular, excellent views of Blencathra (Saddleback) with its ridges, including the famous Sharp Edge, clearly picked out on a sunny day. Apart from the views, the crowning glory of Gowbarrow Fell is Aira Force, a fabulously impressive seventy feet waterfall, set in what was a pleasure garden, built in the 1770s, with trails through the woods. There are other minor waterfalls to see too, on the path through attractive woodland. Gowbarrow Fell is situated on the north side of Ullswater, about five miles west of Pooley Bridge. The walk starts from the eyewateringly expensive pay and display car park for Aira Force (unless you are a National Trust member). If the charges are too much, I suggest pinpointing the car park location then driving back along the lakeside road towards Pooley Bridge.

  • EXPLORE a LEGENDARY LAKE! Ullswater 'Steamers' Consumer
    EXPLORE A LEGENDARY LAKE! Ullswater ‘Steamers’ Consumer Press Pack 2017 January 2017 140-Year-Old Lady Inspires King Arthur App and Awaits Birthday Celebrations A remarkable Lake District lady is celebrating her 140th birthday in 2017, sharing her birth year of 1877 with that of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, and the start of Test match cricket between England and Australia, and reinforcing her credentials as the oldest lady of her type in the entire world. Despite her longevity, this mature lady has never had a birthday card from HM the Queen, because she’s actually one of the heritage vessels in Ullswater ‘Steamers’ fleet – Lady of the Lake – which carries passengers on idyllic cruises on England’s most beautiful lake. M.Y. Lady of the Lake is maintaining her status as one of the oldest working passenger vessels in the world, as she cruises through the 140th year since her launch, though not all of those have been spent on the lake. This is a vessel with an amazing backstory, as Lady of the Lake has battled through adversity and severe challenges. The vessel was designed in Penrith and built in Rutherglen near Glasgow. When her time to take to the water came, she was transported to Ullswater in sections, by both rail and horse-drawn drays, arriving in pieces at Waterside, near Pooley Bridge, where she was assembled and launched on June 26 1877, halfway through the reign of another amazing lady – Queen Victoria. Only a few years after Lady of the Lake’s arrival on Ullswater, she sunk at her moorings (1881), in bad weather.
