🌟 The Ullswater Way Challenge 2026 🌟
🏞️ 22 Miles • 1000m Ascent • One Unforgettable Day
Take on one of the Lake District’s most beautiful and demanding low-level walking challenges — the Ullswater Way.
This fully guided 22-mile circuit around Ullswater takes you through rolling fells, lakeside woodlands, peaceful bays, and dramatic ridgelines, all with epic views of Helvellyn, High Street, and the Ullswater valley. Along the way, you’ll pass Aira Force waterfall, climb above Gowbarrow Fell, and walk through iconic Lakeland villages like Patterdale, Glenridding and Pooley Bridge.
🗣️ “The most beautiful and rewarding walk in Lakeland.” – Wainwright
