The Ullswater Way is a

20-mile walking route, which

was established in the wake of

2015’s Storm Desmond and

officially opened in April 2016.

The route is designed to be

flexible – if you do not have time

to complete the route, you can

combine a shorter section with a

trip on the Ullswater Steamer.

The Ullswater Way is broken

into four sections: Pooley Bridge

to Aira Force (10.7km/6.5

miles), Aira Force to Glenridding

(4.6km/3 miles); Glenridding to

Howtown (10.5km/6.5 miles)

and Howtown to Pooley Bridge

(8km/5 miles).

The Official Guide to the

Ullswater Way, written by Mark

Richards, is available from Shops

in the Ullswater Valley and from
