Situated just 2½ miles from the beautiful scenery of Ullswater, you can enjoy a trip around the lake on a steamer. Why not leave the car and use the local bus service from the village? The spectacular journey along the shores of Ullswater and over the Kirkstone Pass takes you to Lake Windermere via Aira Force waterfall and villages along the way. During the summer months several of the buses are double decker open-top.
