BLDSA Ullswater full length swim

As the second longest lake in the Lake District, at 7 miles long Ullswater is often deemed the most beautiful. The ribbon lake nestles within the foothills of the Helvellyn and High Street ranges, leading to chillier temperatures and bumpier waters as the wind channels down the valley.
With this in mind, Ullswater can be considered one of the toughest Lake District swims, with stunning views along the entire length of the course.
