Tips

Glenridding is a superb base for your adventures in the Eastern Fells of the Lake District. It is the popular starting point for Helvellyn, one of Britain's most beloved mountains, giving access the majestic Red Tarn and the exciting ridges of Striding and Swirral Edge. However, there's more than just Helvellyn to enjoy here, with other classics like Place Fell and St Sunday Crag also within reach.

The village has many accommodation options, as well as excellent independent gear shops. Refreshment can be sought in the cafes and pubs, whilst neighbouring Patterdale is only a short walk away.

The Ullswater Steamers launch from Glenridding Pier and can take you across the lake to Howtown, Pooley Bridge and Aira Force.

Great car park with normally ample spaces. Great pub in the area for food after your walk.
