Ullswater eBikes
Steve started this business up to allow people to explore more of the area around southern Ullswater in a very pleasant way.
That he is genuinely one of the nicest blokes you’ll ever meet is a bonus.
Wild Haweswater.
Red Squirrels, Badgers, Fell ponies & habitat restoration are just some of the things to see here.
Also two Golden Eagles and two White-tailed Eagles revisited Haweswater in Spring 2022.
Lee Schofield and his team over the fell from us are doing a fantastic job.
Cumbrian Heavy Horses
Clydesdales, Shires and Suffolk Punch Heavy Horses.
Owner Annie and her team would love for you to get in touch and chat about the options available to meet and maybe ride these beautiful animals.
Honister
I often ask the guests what else they’ve done in the Lakes and this is a very popular choice.
There are a few options to choose from. There is an ‘ Xtreme ‘ option, ‘ Classic ‘, ‘ Climb the mine ‘ and more.
1863. Pooley Bridge restaurant with rooms.
Many people come to The Lake District for the food as well as the scenery. I ask the guests, more than they ask me, where to go. A very popular restaurant around Ullswater they’ve mentioned recently has been 1863 at Pooley Bridge.
Chestnut House
With around 400 different gins and an eclectic mix of wines, beers, spirits, food and drink, Chestnut House is fast becoming the place to shop in The Lakes.
Rheged
Great name, great place. Just off J40 on your way to/from Ullswater. Fuel, shops, art, events, information, cafes, cinema. I use this place quite often and would recommend a visit.
