Ullswater is the second largest lake in the Lake District. It formed in a glacial trough where the glacier scraped out the valley bottom and then dammed the end with sediment.
Glenridding is at the southern end and Pooley Bridge at the north. Both are great walking bases with plenty of facilities.
The path that follows the western shore is a really nice walk. You can use the steamers which run the length of the lake and stop half way at Howtown to allow an out and back journey.
