Ullswater Lake Boat Ride
Description
The Ullswater sightseeing boat will take you into the heart of the Lake District, sailing aboard a historic vessel between mountains, valleys, and villages.
Boat Ride Details
The Ullswater Lake Sightseeing Boat connects various piers. Aboard a historic vessel from the 19th century, you will experience stunning landscapes that have inspired many artists. From the outside deck, you'll enjoy memorable views, while the interior provides shelter. You may spot red deer, peregrine falcons, and other wildlife.
Halfway into the journey is Howtown Pier, a popular stop for walkers on the Ullswater Way, a 32 km (19.8 mi) circular route. You can disembark to walk part of the trail before reboarding.
The trip extends to Pooley Bridge Pier at the northern lake end, where you can explore the village, about a 15-minute walk from the pier, lined with tea rooms, traditional pubs, and small shops. If you prefer no stops, the entire round trip takes approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes.
