Ullswater Way Lakeside Walk
Penrith, Cumbria
The Ullswater Way is a 20-mile trail around one of the Lake District's most beautiful lakes. This section from Pooley Bridge follows the eastern shore through parkland and woodland with constant views across the water to the dramatic Helvellyn range.
The lakeside walking is gentle and scenic, with the water reflecting the surrounding fells. In spring the shore is famous for daffodils, inspired by Wordsworth's famous poem. The Ullswater Steamers operate on the lake and dogs are welcome aboard.
This is one of the most accessible and scenic walks in the Lake District, suitable for dogs of all sizes and energy levels.
