onefinfrandsen Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 village of glenridding at the south end of the lake has a couple of decent pubs, the best of which is probably the white lion decent ale and grub. was going to suggest walking up to hellvellyn but with a 2 year old it might be pushing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Look decent they do Gal. We looked at them, and also these WigWam camps look fun. http://www.wigwamholidays.com/ Edited April 20, 2012 by Pablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuffyTheCampfireSlayer Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Never stayed at the campsite but we had a boat on the lake at watermillock, just down from the brakenrigg hotel that you will turn up past. Lovely bit of the world Couple of decent pubs for food round there though (though not been for a while i admit), The royal at docray, horse and farrier at dacre. I you want to do a bit of walking do the howtown to glenridding walk or go up aira force. You can get the steamer from pooley bridge to howtown, walk to glenridding, then get the steamer back from glenridding to pooley bridge. Its a long walk though. There is also a road out of the back of howtown that is a brilliant drive loads of hairpin switchbacks and from the top of that road you can then climb the hill and you get an absolute belter of a view back down the lake. Also if you go to ullswater marine (just as you get into watermillock on the left) you used to be able to hire little motorboats. Incidentally if you want to do fishing with the kids you need a licence, many tourists don't realise and get fined pretty badly. Also when you are heading home i recommend going back over the kirkstone pass and along windermere, long but much more enjoyable road than the M6.
