Walking along the Ullswater

Possibly the best lakeshore walk is found on Ullswater's south eastern shore, between Howtown and Glenridding - two of the three stopping points for the boats, with striking views across Ullswater. You could choose instead to trek up Striding Edge to the top of Helvellyn, or if you're looking for something less strenuous, take one of the trails around the lake.
