ペンリスの湖・トップ4

This pretty lake next to the River Eamont is packed with wildlife and makes a lovely spot to stop and relax along your walk.

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.

Nice rolling, mostly smooth tarmac along the lakeshore. Best done early before the traffic builds up.

Spectacular scenery along an undulating road. Plenty of swimming opportunities too!

Situated in the heart of the picturesque Eden Valley ,a stone's throw from Blencarn village, Blencarn Lake is a pretty fishing lake with 15 acres of water. The lake has a beautiful backdrop of the North Pennines and Cross Fells. Popular with anglers, it is possible to fish for Rainbow Trout and Stillwater trout at the lake from April until end of October. Prices range from £10 to £30.

Lovely road along the north shore of Ullswater Lake with great climbs up Watermillock or Matterdale on the right, and the savage Kirkstone Pass straight on through Glenridding.
