Ullswater Steamers at Glenridding
Ullswater 'Steamers' cruise the lake, and are popular with walkers who take the cruise from Glenridding to Howtown on the East shore and walk back on the footpath along the shore and through woodland. From here the scenery is magnificent, with views across to Helvellyn. However, just cruising on the Lake is a very relaxing way of viewing the scenery, which becomes even more magnificent in the Autumn.
