Sightseeing

Beautiful water fall. Walk from the car park by Lake Ullswater, past the falls, past the rapids and rocky river above all the way up to the Dockray Hotel at the top for your lunch and meander back down to the car.

Beautiful village on the tip of Lake Ullswater. Shopping, great pubs, lake steamer, hire boats, walks, parking.... Use the bus stop across the road if you don't want to drive, which can also take you to Glenridding and Windermere
