20 miles • circular walk • walk around the whole lake

Experience Ullswater from every angle — close to the water, through woodland, beneath the fells and along the quieter eastern shore. Walk the full circuit, choose a shorter section, or link footpaths with boats and buses.

5 miles • circular walk • mansions, castle and stone bears

Step into the gentler countryside north of Ullswater, where riverside paths, pastureland and quiet lanes lead between Pooley Bridge, Dalemain, Dacre Castle and the curious stone bears of Dacre Church.

7.5 miles • circular walk • castle, river restoration and open fells

Walk beyond Lowther’s castle walls, through a restored river valley and old village paths, before climbing onto the open fells above Askham for wide views towards Ullswater.
