Hotels in Ullswater, United Kingdom
Ullswater is a glacier-carved lake in England's Lake District, famous for its dramatic fells and the Ullswater Steamers that have crossed its waters since 1859. The climate is mild year-round, with warm summers (60-70°F / 15-21°C) perfect for hiking the Helvellyn ridge or kayaking on the lake, and cool winters (35-45°F / 2-7°C) offering quieter trails and snowy views of Aira Force waterfall. You can board the steamer from Glenridding to Howtown for a one-hour cruise, or stick to spring when wildflowers carpet the shoreline and the crowds are thin.
