Description

The Gables nestles into the fell side above Glenridding, with fabulous panoramic views of the fells around Ullswater.  Helvellyn may be accessed directly from the doorstep and with many other beautiful walks in the area your car may be parked up for the week.  The Travellers Rest Inn is within 1/4 mile with shops and cafes in the centre of the village approximately 1/2 mile.  Glenridding is well positioned to visit both the Northern and Southern Lakes, with the popular tourist towns of Keswick and Ambleside nearby.

The Aira Force waterfall is 3 miles along the lake shore and Kirkstone Pass is a similar distance in the opposite direction.  You can take a trip around the Ullswater Steamer and with other visitor attractions, such as Rheged and Rookin House Activity Centre close by, your holiday may be as relaxing or action packed as you desire.

About the local area

Ullswater is the Lake District’s second largest lake at nine miles long. Located in the eastern side of Cumbria, it bends and twists its way through dramatic mountain scenery on one side and a gently curving shoreline of green fields and woodland on the other.

Boating centres and marinas nestle unobtrusively on the lake edge, perfect for the water sports enthusiasts, or visitors can relax and enjoy the scenery from one of the steamers that have sailed the lake since 1855.

Many of the Lake District’s many walks have their starting point from around Ullswater, including the renowned trek to Helvellyn’s summit via Striding Edge. Or for the less energetic there are many low-level walks through beautiful countryside.

Of note is Glenridding which sits on the south western shore and is surrounded by the fells with wonderful scenic views. Pooley Bridge on the northern shore, with its 16th Century Bridge, Lakeland greystone houses and quaint teashops and Patterdale just to the south of Ullswater, cradled by mountains.
