Many of our guests like to combine a walk with a trip on the Ullswater Steamers, so for starters here are some walks with steamer trips. There are miles of Bridleways linked to ‘Steamer Routes’ that cater for all abilities from the might of Helvellyn Mountain range at the Southern Reach with some of Wainwright’s most famous walks such as Striding Edge to the remote valley of Martindale which offers access to an expanse of seldom-walked fells. Take yourself back into the footsteps of Wordsworth on the lakeshore walk which immortalised the Lenten lily thanks to his world famous poem "Daffodils" Below is a small selection of ‘Steamer’ Routes for you to enjoy. A more detailed guide of each of these walks can be purchased from our Pier Houses or our little Pocket History Book which has fabulous facts and figures, famous faces and places as well as a ‘I did the Howtown Walk’ certificate on the reverse cover. Always check the weather forecast and boat times on the day and take plenty of water, especially on hot days.
Ullswater based activities for small and large groups that includes: water based activities, mountain activities, team development, challange events, wilderness trips and technical courses.
