Ullswater Holidays

Ullswater is considered to be the most beautiful lake in the Lake District, and visitors seeking a luxury holiday will understand why. With a wealth of holiday cottages, bed and breakfasts, luxurious lakeside hotels and holiday lodges with fabulous mountain views and campsites for those on more traditional budget UK holidays, visitors will really be spoilt for choice.

The town is a popular sailing destination, and visitors can choose from many boat hire companies and explore the lake on their own terms, hoisting their sails and letting the wind take them on an exciting journey over the watery wilderness. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, then you can always hop on one of the Ullswater Steamers and explore the lake in comfort, taking in a drink on one of their hour long cruises.

 

Visitors won’t be surprised to find out that Ullswater Lake is great for a spot of fishing, whether from the shoreline or on a hired boat and the trout season runs from the 15^th March to the 30^th September. The dramatic setting of Aira Force is well worth visiting Ullswater on a UK Holiday, where visitors can view the main force of the Lake Districts most beautiful waterfall fall below them while standing on a stone footbridge. The park itself is part of the National Trust and also houses Lyulph's tower, home to a visually stunning pleasure garden. It was this part of Ullswater that inspired Wordsworth to write his world famous poem, Daffodils, so the scenery is sure to speak to poet inside.

 

Visitors seeking classical architecture would do well to visit Dalemain House, where one can explore the Georgian, Tudor and Medieval buildings and rooms contained on the grounds. There are also the gardens to explore, which will provide visitors with a visual feast of natural colour.
